Poor girl! She found conspiracy rather trying work.
I was a little troubled myself.

I began to see more clearly that it doesn't do for a man of scruples to dabble in politics.

I had a great regard for poor Johnny, and I felt no confidence in the colonel treating him with any consideration.

In fact, I would not have insured Johnny's life for the next week at any conceivable premium.

Again I thought it unlikely that, if we succeeded, the President would survive his downfall.
