Overstepped his place

This is a fine old phrase, but I don't think it has any really precise meaning, at least not as it's being used here. I've read the article (which is a fine one) and if one reads the whole thing, yes, one can see that Colonel House "overstepped his place" -- or was out-maneuvered, or diddled, or was grossly mistaken, or *something*. But I think that in this first paragraph the phrase ought to be replaced by something else -- which, unfortunately, at the moment I can't quite think of. Hayford Peirce 23:37, 1 June 2007 (CDT)

I'm still working on it---and will change the lovely old phrase. :) Richard Jensen 23:54, 1 June 2007 (CDT)
Yep, I think that's better -- and also more precise. Hayford Peirce 11:43, 3 June 2007 (CDT)
