3 searchings of heart
угрызения совести [этим. библ. Romans VIII, 27]Civil war was certain, and men began to choose their side, some with enthusiasm, many with dubious sighs and searchings of heart, while the majority manifested a strong desire to remain neutral if they possibly could. (G. M. Trevelyan, ‘History of England’, book IV, ch. II) — Гражданская война казалась неизбежной, и люди становились на ту или иную сторону, одни с энтузиазмом, другие с сомнениями и угрызениями совести. Большинство же желало сохранить нейтралитет, если только это было возможно.
