"You begin on the inside of the hind leg," said Charley. "Oh, I know where to begin and where to leave off; but the thing is to do it neatly, without making a botch. Here goes." Bertie flourished his knife and began to cut. He made a long slit on the inside of one hind leg. "Treat them both alike," said Charley.
I must botch up the accounts, I see, the squire has grown sharp." As Evelyn concluded her song, she whose charm in singing was that she sang from the heart was so touched by the melancholy music of the air and words, that her voice faltered, and the last line died inaudibly on her lips. The children sprang up and kissed her. "Oh," cried Cecilia, "there is the beautiful peacock!"
Whether this change was an improvement or not is a question of taste, but there can be no question as to the wonderful skill, æsthetical and mechanical, with which the change was made, and it is the more striking from the contrast with the wretched "botch" at Waltham. The church is finished to the east by a fine Flamboyant Lady Chapel.
The fact that you know they can overhear you, and intend to do so, leads one on to make the most outrageous, cynical, and scoffish remarks, particularly to denounce with fury a play that you may be enjoying quite passably well. I can't conceive how the director let it get by." Now they only say this because they think it will make the people behind feel ashamed for having enjoyed such a botch.
Dudley, on the contrary, draws delightfully, with that rapid touch which seems like magic; while I labour and botch, and make this too heavy and that too light, and produce at last a base caricature. I must stick to the flageolet, for music is the only one of the fine arts which deigns to acknowledge me. 'Did you know that Colonel Mannering was a draughtsman?
A frequent attempt to conceal this is made by covering the part with dull varnish that will not allow of much light passing through; sometimes an entirely opaque plastering is pasted over, obscuring the grain of the old and new wood alike in the locality, and thus making what is known as a botch." For the execution of such repairs as these there will not be any necessity to open the violin.
"I think, William," he said, when he was again beside Billy, "I shall leave this matter to your own judgment. What I want is to get every cent possible out of the beef we ship; the details I am content to leave with you, for in my ignorance I should probably botch the job. I suppose we can arrange it so that, in case the market rises suddenly, you can rush in a trainload at short notice?"
"Well!" said the toolmaker. "So our doctor is the winner! But it's a marvel that the editor didn't turn the paper over to say so. I never saw such a botch at writing news!" They did not know that he had entered into a conspiracy to deceive them before the drawing began, the clerk in charge of the stage-office and the one telephone of the place being in on the swindle.
"No," he answered with a ghastly laugh; "this passes my most sanguine expectations, even of Godolphin. Good Heaven! Fancy the botch he will make of it!" "You mustn't let him touch it. You must demand it back, peremptorily. You must telegraph!" "What a mania you have for telegraphing," he retorted. "A special delivery postage-stamp will serve every purpose.
He would increase the little store of knowledge we possess, and so he toils forever more, and often in distress. His whiskers and his hair are long, and in the zephyrs wave, because alas! such things are wrong he can't afford a shave. His trousers bag about the knees, his ancient coat's a botch; his shoes allow his feet to freeze, he bears a dollar watch.
