Let us retrace our steps a little and give the chief facts as to how a Bulgarian Empire for a time a very short time replaced the Roman Empire over a great area of the Balkan Peninsula. The historian, rightly, must always march under a banner inscribed "Why?"
But then such stories are apt to crop up after the death of every man who has acquired the reputation of being crafty and close in his dealings. We left Jethro, after his interview with Dulcibel, walking on in order that he might avoid her further company. After going a short distance he turned and saw that she was riding rapidly homeward. Then he began to retrace his steps.
Our men occupy Mount Isel, and the whole country back of Mount Isel is in insurrection. You cannot retrace your steps, nor can you advance, for you will never get to Innspruck, and there is no other road to Augsburg. We have barricaded the city, and have nearly twenty thousand men in and around Innspruck."
Fraulein said only an hour altogether and it's church tonight." "We'll get back, Millenium mine never fear." As they began to retrace their steps Clara softly sang the last line of the song, the highest note ringing, faint and clear, away into the wood. "Ho-lah!" A mighty answering shout rang through the wood. It was like a word of command. "Oh, come along home; Clara, what are you dreaming of?"
He scooped up a handful and found it too sour to swallow. When he turned to retrace his steps she mounted her pony and followed him. A golden flare lit up the western sky, and silhouetted dark and lonely against it stood the trading-post. Upon his return Shefford found the wind rising, and it chilled him.

The line which society draws, and which it proclaims no man shall overstep without punishment, may be approached very closely, but once on the wrong side, once the fateful step is taken, the act is irretrievable; to attempt to retrace it is to attempt to undo the past; it is all but impossible.
With a cry, he sprang from the carriage to retrace his way; but he only climbed up a ladder that grew every instant steeper; and all at once he was plunged downwards after his horse and carriage into the stream. He could swim, and as he swept down this thought came to him that he might be able to get the shore, as he heard the cries of people on the bank.
So saying, he turned to retrace his steps, thinking to double and descend by the Rue Lepic itself while his pursuer should continue to follow after him on the other line of street. The plan was ill- devised: as a matter of fact, he should have taken his seat in the nearest cafe, and waited there until the first heat of the pursuit was over.
I played a little and waged war against the sharpers who have become more numerous of late than the dupes, as there are also more doctors than patients. I also thought of getting a mistress, for what is life without love? I had tried in vain to retrace Gertrude; the engraver was dead, and no one knew what had become of his daughter.
