"Why not I ask why not? Some women have broken through prejudice, and why should not others? Do you not agree with me, Fanny, that female medical men I mean medical women would be an infinite boon?" "It would be very nice if they would never be nervous." "Nerves are merely a matter of training. Think of the numbers that might be removed from the responsibility of incompetently educating!
The insurrection, or revolution, if it may be so called, at this time consisted of a nominal central government, chiefly self-organized and self-elected, and various roving bands, probably numbering some thousands in their aggregate, of men rudely and incompetently armed, and showing little or nothing of military organization or method.
"Whence hast Thou come, that thy main forces are in front of our army?" "I knew how incompetently the division was marching from Memphis, when the heir was concentrating his regiments near Pi-Bailos, and for sport I wished to capture you young lords. To my misfortune the heir was here and spoiled my plans. Act that way always, Ramses, of course in presence of real enemies."
Several companies dishonestly and incompetently conducted have found it impossible to longer prey upon a too confiding public. The collapse of fraudulent concerns has furnished an occasion for the enemies of the system to cry out against the system itself, but thinking men are not deceived thereby.
I should wish even to enlarge them all: not that the Church of England is incompetently endowed. This is to take nothing from her but the power of making herself odious. If she be secure herself, she can have no objection to the security of others. For I hope she is secure from lay-bigotry and anti-priestcraft, for certainly such things there are.
Cæsar first moved his lips incompetently, and then, with a studied slowness that was meant to sound imperious, began: "When I say 'Sit' " "You mean 'Sit," explained Penny promptly. "That's impertinence." But Penny had his head thrown back, and was gazing out of eyes, curtained by the fall of heavy-fringed lids, at the ceiling.
Charles Albert, who had struggled bravely but incompetently, abdicated in favour of his son Victor Emmanuel II. The new King signed the Treaty of Peace on March 26, 1849. The war though disastrous was remarkable. For the first time an Italian army had fought under the Italian flag with the distinct purpose of establishing Italian unity.
But darkness makes people truthful, and the Scotchman went on impulsively perhaps he had heard her after all: "I wish I was richer, Miss Newson; and your stepfather had not been offended, I would ask you something in a short time yes, I would ask you to-night. But that's not for me!" What he would have asked her he did not say, and instead of encouraging him she remained incompetently silent.
"In what kind of a sieve do you propose to carry water?" came the next question. "A sieve," said Brinnaria, "is a sieve." "Not at all," Commodus objected. "There are sieves and sieves." "Well, of course," Brinnaria reflected, "I do not mean a broken, worn-out or imperfect sieve, nor one incompetently made." "Just so," the Emperor amplified.
Hazel heard his step on the rough stones, and was alarmedly sure that it was he. She was terribly afraid he would tell Edward. Then a new idea occurred to her. Should she tell Edward herself? She sat in the firelight with her head bent, and turned this new thought about in her brain as incompetently as she twisted the blue wool round the needles.
