Both boys were eager to join the others and they wondered what they could be doing down by the river. Perhaps they had captured the plotter and had dispatched Karl for rope or handcuffs to secure him. At any rate nothing suspicious had happened since the shots had first been heard.
"Here you be, so afraid of lawyers and with good reason that you'd have let him get away with his plunder before you'd have gone to law and he knew it when he done you. You've taken back what's your own, in your own way, without havin' to give law-shysters the biggest part for gettin' it. Shake!" And chief plotter and the benefited clasped fists with radiant good-nature.
But to prove how little I care for thy brother's aid compared with thine, and how implicitly I count on thee, I have openly told thee what a wilier plotter would have concealed viz., the danger to which thy brother is menaced in his own earldom. To the point, then, I pass at once.
Nodwengo went on vehemently. "Can a wizard cease from wizardry, or a plotter from his plots? No, not until the waters run upward and the sun shines at night; not until repentance touches you and your heart is changed, which I should hold as much a marvel. You were my father's friend and he made you great; yet you could plan with my brother to poison him, your king.
Suddenly the King exclaimed, ''Tis the wrath of Shagpat that his assailants remain uncastigated! Then cried he to the eunuchs of the guard, 'Hither with Feshnavat, the son of Feil! And the King said to Feshnavat, 'Thou plotter! envious of Shagpat!

For Eustis himself I could see nothing but ruin ahead, but I wished passionately to help the dear girl who had come to me in her stress. But what was one to do? How should one act? I sat there dismally enough, my chin sunk upon my breast; for as a plotter, a planner, a conspirator, I am a particularly hopeless failure.
Behind the far-sighted plotter and the keen intriguer there always remained the primitive honesty of his younger years. He may at times have complained of the difficulties which arose from the reluctance of the King to follow his advice, but he himself felt that it was a source of strength to him that he had to explain, justify, and recommend his policy to the King.
Sweeny, commonly known as "Pete," was a lawyer of ability, and was generally believed to be the plotter of the quartet. Nast transformed his middle initial B. into "Brains." Connolly was just a coarse gangster. There was some reason for the Ring's faith in its invulnerability.
Vergilius reread the letter with flashing eyes. Then he summoned his lecticarii and set out for the palace of the plotter. Manius approached him, a kindly greeting on his lips. "Liar!" Vergilius interrupted, his hand upon his sword. "Speak no word of kindness to me!" "What mean you, son of Varro?" the other demanded. "That, with me, you have not even the right of an enemy.
