That letter had caused Sir Oswald to disinherit his nephew once. Was it possible that the same letter had influenced him a second time? But the disappointed man did not suffer himself to dwell long on this subject. He thought of his uncle's widow, and the triumph that she had won over the schemers who had plotted so basely to achieve her destruction.
Therefore he plotted against me, but my magic was greater than his, and while my tree stood he could not prevail. At length it fell at thy feet, as he knew that it was doomed to fall, for all these things are fore-ordained, and at once he would have slain me by the Red Death, but thou didst protect me, and for that blessed be thou for ever."
The danger had already grown too evident to be concealed. As a consequence, there were many violent meetings between the two, both feeling that they were being plotted against, and many precautionary measures were taken on both sides.
He had just spoken at Clinton, in De Witt County, and again he had found Lincoln in the audience. No general ever planned a military campaign with greater regard to the topography of the enemy's country, than Douglas plotted his campaign in central Illinois. For it was in the central counties that the election was to be won or lost.
For some twelve weeks longer he remained a prisoner in his own house, the bond for eighteen hundred gold crowns having doubtless been given on this account. Almost his last reflection about his life at Bologna is one in which he records his satisfaction that all the men who plotted against him there met their death soon after their attempt, thus sharing the fate of his enemies at Milan and Pavia.

Were the topaz gates of the sunset still ajar to a new infinite life; or did satyr faces haunt the shadows of the trail, satyr faces of the Greed that had plotted the bloody villainy of the Rim Rocks?
I could not give the answer required; and I replied, "If my brother be found guilty of rebelling against his sovereign, let him suffer. I, my lord, have never plotted or rebelled against you." "Answer my question, Zara. Do you know any thing about this plot? Yes or no. Say no, and I shall believe you."
Two should be dukes, the third king paramount. "Waltheof, I presume, plotted drunk, and repented sober, when too late. The wittol! He should have been a monk." "Repented he has, if ever he was guilty. For he fled to Archbishop Lanfranc, and confessed to him so much, that Lanfranc declares him innocent, and has sent him on to William in Normandy."
