Peering between the curtains, I saw that La Chatre was lame, and that he walked with the aid of a stick on one side and Montignac's shoulder on the other. "To think," he was saying as he came in, "that the misstep of a horse should have made a helpless cripple of me, when I might have led this hunt myself!"
Then it was that he would go like the wind, through utter darkness, through storm and flood and over an icy earth, without a pause or a misstep.
Below him rose more and more distinctly the sound of running water. The air felt damp and cool. He could see nothing of his surroundings and felt nothing but the smooth, worn sides and rungs of the ladder down which he felt his way cautiously lest a broken rung or a misstep should hurl him downward.
They are always willing to forgive, and be it man or woman who takes a misstep in our town which is the counterpart of hundreds of American towns if the offender shows that he wishes to walk straight, a thousand hands are stretched out to help him and guide him. It is not true that a man or woman who makes a mistake is eternally damned by his fellows.
Even an ordinary roistering bacchanalian party brought him out from under a tree or a shed in the keenest satisfaction. He would accompany them through the long straggling street of the settlement, barking his delight at every step or misstep of the revelers, and exhibiting none of that mistrust of eye which marked his attendance upon the sane and the respectable.
"I had no idea, even this morning!" he confessed. She wondered if her admission smacked of the designing widow. "Other people will be!" she said in smiling warning. He chuckled mischievously. "Well, won't they?" He smiled for a moment or two in silence, over his wheel. Martie made another tiny misstep. "I suppose there's no reason why I shouldn't tell Lydia " she began musingly.
Graebner remarks: "A misstep as serious as this, admitting an errorist like Whitefield to the pulpit of the local pastor and synodical president, such as was done at this synodical meeting, had, at least, not been made before the time of Wrangel." Mr. Whitefield, stating that if he would preach for me on next Sunday night in Zion Church, it would be acceptable to me."
I took my blanket, rolled up in it and went to sleep by some trees under some branches and a log. We came over the rocks where one misstep would have sent the horses to the bottom. No place even to spread his four feet before the next step. My heart was in my mouth most of the time. I don't know what impression you might get from my letter.
The great Eastern Limited swept past them, rocking the ground, sending out a cloud of black smoke shot with sparks, and letting fall a rain of gritty cinders. "Don't you ever let me catch you doing anything like that again!" scolded Bob, getting to his feet and helping Betty up. "Of all the foolish acts! Why, you would have been struck if you'd made a misstep. What possessed you, Betty?"
Once or twice he thought he saw to the side of them another figure, moving or halting as they halted, but when he looked fixedly he could distinguish nothing but the trunk of some great tree. On and on they went, mocked at by owls and whippoorwills, crossing streams over log bridges, wading through others when the cold water splashed at a misstep up in his face.
