The poor gentleman's quite unconscious, and the doctor don't expect him to last till morning. Young Mr. Barter's mind was active, and accustomed to rapid movement. He knew at once that the old servant read the signs of disturbance in his face and manner, and how far he misread them. So, to insure the misreading, he took out his handkerchief, and groaned at this melancholy intelligence.
No misreading of my plans! But a rotten, deliberate deal! ... Work done over and over again! Oh, I see it all now! General Lodge knew it without ever coming here. The same old story! That black stain that dishonor on the great work! ... Graft! Graft!" He clambered out of the wet and muddy hole and up the bank. Then he saw Blake sauntering across the flat toward him.
We have got something out of the lines, I think, and much more is yet to be found in them; but we have done enough by way of example of the kind of word-by-word examination of your author which is rightly called "reading;" watching every accent and expression, and putting ourselves always in the author's place, annihilating our own personality, and seeking to enter into his, so as to be able assuredly to say, "Thus Milton thought," not "Thus I thought, in misreading Milton."
One can believe that he scarcely wishes to march dictatorially, and full surely his Egyptian policy was from step to step a misreading of the will of the English people. He went forth on this campaign, with the finger of Egypt not ineffectively levelled against him a second time.
Jerry started to sweat over the thing again, then suddenly did a double-take. He made some erasures and in five minutes had the whole thing worked out, cursing himself for misreading a figure or something. "Now don't tell me it was just a coincidence.

The old sneer, that 'Providence is always on the side of the strongest battalions, is an audacious misreading of history, and is the very opposite of the truth.
Or you have once looked straight at them without speaking, and you discover years after that they have chosen to foist on you their idea of your idea at the moment; and they have the astounding presumption to account this misreading of your look to the extent of a full justification, nothing short of righteous, for their treachery and your punishment! O those Welshwomen!
It was the ace of clubs; not a better card in the deck! He lifted his face and beamed; it was a good start. And this time the emotion registered in his frank eye was that of a guileless old gentleman who has an ace in the hole. There was no misreading that triumphant gleam. Again the cards fell gently from Barbee's practised hand, each of the four faces up this time.
Of course it's so. No fever business could make yu' feel like this." His eye dwelt awhile on the fireplace, next on the deer horns, and next it travelled toward the shelf where her books were; but it stopped before reaching them. "Better say off the names before I look," said he. "I've had a heap o' misreading visions.
Students of the Elizabethan stage have persuaded themselves, by what I believe to be a complete misreading of the evidence, that Shakespeare did not, as it were, "think in acts," but conceived his plays as continuous series of events, without any pause or intermission in their flow.
