Hi,
Could someone please help me for I don't get the meaning of this idiom " a heavy guardsman’s tread." in a text from Frank O’CONNOR, The Ugly Duckling, 1957. The sentence is a description of a woman: "She scowled, bowed her head, and walked with a heavy guardsman’s tread" Does it mean -elle piétinait comme un garde- I don't think so.
Thank you for your help.
