He was a plotter, but not of amours; a carrier through too, but not of intrigues.
"The Story of Louie"
Oliver Onions
Reticence was second nature to the plotter who had just heard of the growing power of a new enemy, but there was wine for dinner and a sympathetic listener, and under the ache of nostalgia and the need of outpouring, his discretion for once weakened.
"The Tempering"
Charles Neville Buck
If you step up another pair of stairs, you will be convinced, that, however detestable I may be to you, I am no plotter in this affair.
"Clarissa, Volume 5 (of 9)"
Samuel Richardson
