So it happened often enough during that prolonged war that divisions of French ships escaped, through stress of weather, temporary absence of a blockading fleet, or misjudgment on the part of its commander; but the alarm was quickly given, some of the many frigates caught sight of them, followed to detect their probable destination, passed the word from point to point and from fleet to fleet, and soon a division of equal force was after them, "to the antipodes" if need were.
Schiller, who should have been inured by this time to the consequences of editorial misjudgment, was disgruntled, vexed. He began to feel that the German public was an indolent, long-eared beast that needed the education of the scourge rather than of aesthetic letters.
A slight deflection caused by the wind or a small misjudgment of curve will certainly mean error. Remembering the 85 percent errors in tennis, I again ask you if it is worth while to take the risk? There are many other reasons why keeping the eye on the ball is a great aid to the player. It tends to hold his attention so that outside occurrences will not distract.
Russia appeared to the strategist as a vast reservoir of food for powder which would take time to mobilize, but prove almost irresistible if it were given time.

Send it to Lady Howe and she will copy it and return the original." Then said the sturdy old Yankee: "I desire, my friends, that there shall be no secrecy about it."
Eunané hurt me a little; but I expected no such misjudgment from you. By the touch that proved your alarm I know that I gave no cause for it." "How so?" she asked in surprise. "You laid your hand instinctively on my left arm, the one your people use. Had I made the slightest angry gesture, you would have held back my right.
These are possible consequences that misjudgment either here or in India might bring with it.
As Douglas subsequently contended with much force, the number of votes cast in excess of the census returns did not in itself prove wholesale fraud. Under such liability to deception and misjudgment, the territorial authorities held the election which was likely to determine the status of Kansas with respect to slavery.
There was no misjudgment of the power of the appeal in this instance. It is no exaggeration to say Byzantium was out assisting so did the people throng the thoroughfares, block the street intersections, and look down from the windows and balconies.
