Europe has had more than its share of botched and of successful currency unions. The Snake, the EMS, the ERM, on the one hand and the British Pound, the Deutschmark, and the ECU, on the other. The currency unions which made it have all survived because they relied on a single monetary authority for managing the currency.
Consequently, most of the work was rushed and botched and slobbered over in about half the time that it would have taken to do it properly. Rooms for which the customers paid to have three coats of paint were scamped with one or two.
"There was breakfast, dinner, supper in your stroke. I must to the house to find vinegar and brown paper to patch my poll." "Can I aid you?" Evander offered. "I have some slight skill in surgery." "Leave him to me," Halfman interposed. "I have botched as many heads as I have broken." Sir Blaise, leaning heavily on Halfman's arm, replied to Evander's offer in his own way.

I struck them so hard that they sank back in the water without a sound and disappeared. Isn't it vile that I still cling to life and that I would rather do anything than give up this botched and bungled existence of mine?"

I've botched my own life, Edith; of course you know that? But he shan't botch his, if I can help it!" "I think you can help it," Edith said. His heart contracted; yet it was what he had expected.
I'm not going to pay full price to have my work botched up after that style!" And, so saying, Berlaps turned away and walked back to his desk. Lizzy Glenn, as she had called herself, entered at the moments and heard the remark of the tailor. She glided noiselessly by Mrs.
But in order to effect this Bracciolini clipped his sentences as a gardener clips hedges: a sentence is now and then like an amputated limb; a word is wanting, like a hand or a foot cut off from an arm or a leg: sometimes the reader sees, what was evidently made with mischievous intent, a great gap in thought, at which he is stopped and disturbed, as a farmer, when walking in his fields, is brought to a stand-still and overcome with annoyance to see an opening which his cattle have made in his fences, and which he must be at the pains of repairing: so these vacuities in thought require to be botched by the fancy of the reader; the patching may not be the requisite thing to be done: accordingly the gaps cause difficulties in rightly apprehending the meaning of the writer, who, in some passages may, possibly, never be properly understood.
It was not a pretty sight, and the only thing that redeemed its ugliness was the way in which all those medical men were devoting themselves to the almost hopeless task of untwisting the contorted limbs of those victims of the war spirit, and restoring the shape of man botched by the artists of the death machines.
