To the cabin Kent groped his way, and knocked, and it was Marette who opened the door for him and stepped back for him to enter. Like a great wet dog he came in, doubling until his hands almost touched the floor. He sensed the incongruity of it, the misplacement of his overgrown body in this playhouse thing, and he grinned through the trickles of wet that ran down his face, and tried to see.
In this case the reading room is only for books in use by those frequenting it, or is supplied with a selection of reference books simply, the stacks being drawn upon for all the rest. This of course secures the books both from misplacement and from pillage. Most of them are unprovided with any effective means of guarding the books on the shelves from handling.
It suffered from that extraordinary misplacement and exchange in the upper and lower consonants which has distinguished the German people that nation of great philologists since the death of the Roman Empire.
This is comparatively safe in the smaller town libraries, where the books are in compact shape, and the unavoidable misplacement can be corrected daily in no long time. The experience of "open shelves" in such collections has been so favorable that their librarians have testified that the losses were insignificant when compared with the great public convenience resulting.
The whole façade is narrow one door and high. The effect is disastrous: an unnecessary contortion or misplacement of vertical, horizontal, slanting, and circular lines. If this shows certain Mudejar taste, so, also, do the geometrical designs carved in relief against a background, as seen in the arabesques above the upper windows.

But his page will be in place by tomorrow.
But it does not always require verbal infelicity to produce a "Thing one would rather have expressed differently." The mere misplacement of a comma will do it. A distinguished graduate of Oxford determined to enter the Nonconformist ministry, and, quite unnecessarily, published a manifesto setting forth his reasons and his intentions.
These rays always hold the same relation to each other, as may be seen by comparing every spectrum or rainbow; there is never any confusion or misplacement. There are various other means of decomposing white light besides the prism, of which one of the principal and most interesting to the Daguerreotypist is by reflection from colored bodies.
"Yes, when I tested them with an instrument I secured from an electrician here in town the wires were dead. There was not the slightest current in them. Either they have been changed lately, or some sudden jar or misplacement brought them in contact with a live circuit." "What were the wires for?" asked Mr. Kettridge. "That's what I've been wanting to find out.
"Jack Anerley, sir, till better times; and better they never will be, till I make them. But not a word to any one about me, if you please. But, bless you, I shall pay him soon, a penny for a guinea." Truth, which struggles through the throng of men to get out and have a little breath sometimes, now and then succeeds, by accident, or the stupid misplacement of a word.
