Still, the Burgomaster, as he wiped his sallow face, and watched the last of the women withdraw on the seventh Sunday of the Siege, began to think that, rather than pass through this again, he would face even the curtain and a volley; if he were sure that one volley would do it, and no botching.
"That an unskilful hand had carved this print You'd say at once, seeing the living face; But, finding here no jot of me, my friends, Laugh at the botching artist's mis-attempt."
Then, beside their moral offensiveness, they were such 'idiots, and: 'noodles, and botching and blundering right and left, so palpably to the danger and ruin of their employers, that no man of conscience could sit easy and see it going on; and all this simply because he had fixed his affections upon the practice of the one, and the agency of the other.
But the wolverine made no sound, as if he, too, realized that some menace lay beyond the rim of the valley. Would that other come up the path Shann had trapped? Or had he been wrong? Was the enemy already stalking him from the other beach? The grip of his stunner was slippery in his damp hand; he hated this waiting. The canoe ... his work on it had been a careless botching.
Lay pretty long in bed talking with my wife, and then up and set to the making up of my monthly accounts, but Tom coming, with whom I was angry for botching my camlott coat, to tell me that my father and he would dine with me, and that my father was at our church, I got me ready and had a very good sermon of a country minister upon "How blessed a thing it is for brethren to live together in unity!"
Not only were they without any political rights, but they were deprived of even the most elementary civil rights. They could neither possess property, nor engage in manufactures, nor cultivate the soil: they lived by botching and brokage. How they lived at all surprises me.
"Larry," says Pinckney, lookin' him over reproachful, "you are hopeless. You merely cumber the earth." "Having made an art of being useless," says Larry, "you should be an excellent judge." "You think you flatter me," says Pinckney; "but you don't. I live my life as it comes. You are botching yours." "Hear, hear!" says Larry. "The butterfly sermonizes!" "Insect yourself!" says Pinckney.
The great inheritance of man is a commonwealth of blunders. One race spend their lives in botching the errors transmitted to them by another; and the main cause of all political, that is, all the worst and most general, blunders is this, the same rule we apply to individual cases we will not apply to public.
She was too tired of botching to tell him he was wasting time. "Got an oil can?" he hesitated. Through a tiny hole in the plate of the distributor he dripped two drops of oil only two drops. "I guess maybe that's what it needed. You might try her now, and see how she runs," he said mildly. Dubiously Claire started the engine. It sang jubilantly, and it did not stop. Again was the road open to her.
So poor Rolf could only catch fish for his support, swim round and round his prison, and venture a little further, on days when the water felt rather less cold than usual. To drive off thoughts of his poor distressed Erica, he sometimes hammered a little at his skiff; but it was too plain that no botching that he could perform in the cave would render the broken craft safe to float in.
