and the greater or less degree of communicated to the arm which in this exercise acts as a of the body the motion being exactly the reverse of that of the corresponding leg it draws the more into the inferior than superior members it gives but little strength to the latter walking may be performed in three times � slow moderate or quick � which somewhat its action the slow walk or march in the march the weight of the body is advanced � rom the heel to the and the toes are turned out this being done one foot the left for instance is advanced with the knee straight and the toe inclined to the ground which without being drawn back it touches before the heel in such a manner however that the sole at the con the moderate and the q ti k page of tlie step is nearly parallel with tlie ground it next touches its outer edge the right foot is then immediately raised from the inner edge of the toe and advanced inclined and brought to the ground and so in plate and thus in the march the toe first touches and last leaves the ground and so marked is this tendency that in the stage step which is meant to be especially dignified � as the foot an awkward when the weight has been thrown on the � in order to correct this the former is for an instant extended its toe even turned backwards and and its tip alone rested on the ground previous to its being in its turn advanced thus the toe s first touching and last leaving the ground is peculiarly marked in this form of the this pace should be practised until it can be firmly and gracefully performed the moderate and the quick pace these will be best understood by a reference to the pace which we have just described the principal difference between them being as to the advance of the weight of the body the turning out of the toes and the part of the foot which first touches and last leaves the ground we shall find that the times of these two paces require a further advance of the weight and suffer less and less of turning out the toes and of this extended touching with the toe and covering the ground with the foot the moderate pace here the weight of the body is advanced from the heel to the ball of the foot the toes are less turned out and the quick pace it is no longer the toe but ihe ball of the foot which first touches and last leaves the ground its outer edge or the ball of the little toe first breaking the descent of the foot and its inner edge or the ball of the great toe last the weight � plate and thus in this step less of the foot may be said to cover the ground and this of nearer and stronger points of support and action is essential to the increased quickness and exertion of the pace the of this pace has not been sufficiently attended to people pass from the march to the quick pace they know not how and hence all the awkwardness and embarrassment of their walk when their pace becomes moderate and the misery they endure when this pace has to be performed by them up the middle of a long and well lighted room where the eyes of a brilliant assembly are exclusively directed to them let those who have felt this but attend to what we have here said the motion of the arms and of every other part depends on it the quick pace here the weight of the body is advanced from the heel to the toes the toes are least turned out and still nearer and stronger points of support and action are chosen the outer edge of the heel first touches the ground and the sole of the foot projects the weight these are essential to the increased quickness of this pace � plate and and it is important to remark as to all these paces that tiie weight is more thrown forward and the toes are less turned out in the form of the march the toes as we have seen are in the foot though but for a moment even thrown backwards in the moderate pace they have an direction and in the quick pace slow they are thrown more directly forward as in the six of plate viii it is this direction of the toes and still more the nearer and stronger points of support and action namely the heel and sole of the foot which are essential to the quick pace so practised but which together with the great inclination of the body being transferred to the moderate pace make unfortunate people look so awkward as we shall now explain the time of the moderate pace is as it were filled up by the more complicated process of the step � by the gradual and easy breaking of the descent of the foot on its outer edge or the ball of the little toe by the deliberate of the foot by its equally gradual and easy from its inner edge or the ball of the great toe the quick pace if its time be lengthened has no such filling up the man at once down on his heel and could rise instantly from his sole but finds that to fill up his time he must pause an instant he feels he should do something and does not know what his hands suffer the same momentary as his feet he gradually becomes confused and embarrassed deeply sensible of this he at last it a smile or a arises though people do not well know at what but in short the man has walked like a because the of his step has not filled
