Dolf was recalled to wisdom at once he could not afford to make a misstep on the very day of his return. He emptied the pan, followed Clorinda into the kitchen, making a sign of farewell to Vic which the old maid did not observe.
This criticism was drawn from him by a misstep into the mud, but he quickly regained the ill-paved sidewalk and continued his course with unbroken cheerfulness. The night was dark, the few and widely scattered street lamps burned dimly, and the city loomed through the dusk, misshapen and obscure.
She approached the lake at its far neck, then followed back along the margin clear to the edge of the woods in which the fire was built. In her years in the woods Beatrice had learned to stalk, and the knowledge was of value to her now. With never a misstep she took down a little game trail toward the camp fire.
The crevices lack none of the usual crevice irregularities; high places must be mounted or descended, chasms crossed and narrow passages crawled through, while extra caution must be exercised to avoid striking the head or making a misstep that might result in a fall.
A single misstep at this moment might lose all. Ah, if I only knew your father's real situation; if I could only see him and speak to him! In one word he might, perhaps, place in my hands a sure weapon, the weapon that I have as yet been unable to find." "Unfortunately," replied Mlle.

Stooping, he picked up that upon which he had trodden.
"I don't know," said McClintock. "But you said you weren't particular. Moreover, he's a Yale University man, and he'd be good company." "What's he know about copra and native talk?" "Nothing, probably; but I'll wager he'll pick it all up fast enough." "A fugitive." "But that's the point I don't know. But supposing he is? Supposing he made but one misstep?
