"What a dreadful botch of bandaging! He looks so pale! I wonder if I couldn't get those cloths off. Lend me your knife, dad." Gently as she worked, the head on the pillow began to sway, and the lips to move. "Oh, let me alone!" they muttered querulously. The eyes opened.
Care should be taken, in properly forming a road at first, otherwise you may botch it for a whole century, and at the end of that long period, it will be only a botch itself. A wide road will put the innocent traveller out of fear of the waggoners; not the most civilized of the human race.
You'd have thought it was Mandeville. I made a gorgeous botch of it." "You don't mean she ?" "Yes, sir, adjourned me sine die. Oh, it's no use to look at me." He laughed. "The calf's run over me. My fat's in the fire." The General softly swore and continued his gaze. "I believe," he slowly said, "that's why you wanted to slink out of town the back way." "Oh, no, it's not.
Dr Johnson regretted it as hurtful to human happiness: 'For, said he, 'it spreads mankind which weakens the defence of a nation, and lessens the comfort of living. Men, thinly scattered, make a shift, but a bad shift, without many things. A smith is ten miles off: they'll do without a nail or a staple. A taylor is far from them: they'll botch their own clothes.
I murmured my long-meditated prayer for forgiveness, making a sad botch of its periods. She put her hand over my mouth. "Not a word of that hateful affair," she said firmly.

I'll do it myself, give you a nice clean job. You know these amateurs; botch it up and have a guy floppin' around, yellin' and spatterin' everybody up." "I'm first," Retief said. He pushed past Magnan, stopped suddenly, drove a straight punch at Illy's mouth. The long blade flicked harmlessly over Retief's shoulder as Illy fell.
It is a trite remark that, having the choicest tools, an unskilful artisan will botch his work; and bad teachers will fail even with the best methods. Indeed, the goodness of the method becomes in such case a cause of failure; as, to continue the simile, the perfection of the tool becomes in undisciplined hands a source of imperfection in results.
Because Napoleon slept only three hours a night, hundreds of students have tried the experiment; but instead of Austerlitz and Saragossa, there came of it only a sick headache and a botch of a recitation.
"I've made a botch of it. I'd ought to 'a' let your mother told ye." She pressed closer to him, and wrapped her arms around him without speaking. "I expect I better go in now," he said gently, putting her away from him. "Will you come along o' me, or do you want to git a little quieter first?" "You go in," Ruth Mary whispered. "I'll come soon."
Nobody but Fanchette could have made them look anything but a botch. But they spoil the dress. And all to please mother and Mrs. Grundy!" "I like them. I suppose the nearest you could get to buskins? You would have preferred ankles au naturel? I don't think you'd have been admitted, Kitty." "Shouldn't I? And so few people have feet they can show!" sighed Kitty, regretfully.
