She had come solely because she hated to see a job botched, and there was not a moment to lose if it was not to be botched. She had come, not because she had the slightest sympathetic interest in Musa on the contrary, she was coldly angry with him but because she had a horror of fiascos.
"You blame Tom Swift because your brother botched his job of claiming the satellite Nestria by force and fraud?" Ames taunted. "Our space friends moved that asteroid into orbit around the earth," Tom added. "We claimed it by right of first landing. Even your own leaders couldn't agree to Streffan's crazy scheme to destroy everything."
He paid no attention to Irving; he addressed the table. “I told Scarborough he might have known things would be botched somehow.” “Why?” asked Blake. “Oh, you’ve got to have officials who know their business.” There was an interval of silence at the table; Westby, having fired his shot, sat straight, with cheeks flushed, looking across at Blake.

They were intended to be, if we are to call them bad. Botched mendings will only make them worse. 'Which side suffers? 'Both; and both like it. One side must be beaten at any game.
