mauvais pas

By all the gods!if he had only known Who held him between life and death upon the Mauvais Pas!

This, if I may use the metaphor, is the mauvais pas in the ascent of Parnassus: and here Daniel broke down.

"Follow me," he said, and leaving the stream ascended the path, a veritable mauvais pas.

This mauvais pas would not, perhaps, trouble younger cragsmen.

When at last you had them behind you, came le Mauvais Pas, which corresponded to its name.
