mollusque commented on the word step-a-ty-step

Urge the beast, can't ye, Jeff'son? I ain't used to bein' out in such bleak weather. Seems if I couldn't git my breath. I'm all pinched up and wigglin' with shivers now. 'T ain't no use lettin' the hoss go step-a-tystep, this fashion.
--Sarah Orne Jewett, 1890, A Winter Courtship
