Why does Tom walk through the swamp on the way home one day? Why does the author call it an “ill-chosen route”?

Tom walked through the swamp because it was a short-cut. The author calls it an ill-chosen route because it is the place that Tom meets up with Old Scratch..... the moment all of his real troubles begin.
