This latest attempt to seize them or harm them if it was that had been surprisingly inept. It was strange that creatures able to travel between the stars and put regiments and tanks out of action should fail so dismally to kill or kidnap Coburn, if they really wanted to. Could it be that they were not quite sincere in their efforts? "That," said the authoritative voice, "is an idea!"
This should, however, connote no inept mingling of genres; the style seems to be called for by the very nature of the vast theme that moment at which the native and the immigrant strain begin to merge in the land of the future the promised land that the protagonists are destined never to enter, even as Moses himself, upon Mount Nebo in the land of Moab, beheld Canaan and died in the throes of the great vision.
Sparta was old and conservative; covered her patrician virtues with a rude uncultural exterior; was inept politically as old aristocracies so commonly are; she shunned that love of the beautiful and the things of the mind which is the grace, as Bushido to use the best name there is for it is the virtue, of the patrician.
The audience must indeed have been qualmish prudes. Of all plays it is the most harmless. The scene in the fourth Act to which exception was taken seems to have been No. II, after the marriage of Gasper and Antonia, a most trifling and inept business. Cowley appends the following note: 'This is the expression, I am told, which had nearly prov'd fatal to the Comedy.
But in this ill-starred cathedral an inept precentor gave out, by way of liturgical canticles, a perfect menagerie of outlandish tunes, which, let loose on Sunday, seemed to scamper like marmosets up the pillars and under the roof. And the artless voices of the choir-boys were drilled to these musical monkey-tricks.
He had often pitied doctors, who, instead of dealing with exquisitely consistent chemicals, have to work on men and women, unselected specimens of the most variable of all species, which was singularly inept at variating in the direction of beauty; and it seemed miraculous that he could turn the yeasty workings of his mind into cool, clear statements of hitherto unstated truth that would in no way betray to those that read them that their maker was lustful and hot-tempered and, about some things, melancholic.
By this beneficent habit not only are the feeble and inept automatically disposed of, but the difficulty of choosing one from among a company of suitors, all apparently possessing the same superficial attributes, is materially lightened." "The system may be advantageous in those dark regions," admitted Chang Tao reluctantly, "but it must prove unsatisfactory in our more favoured land."
At once, precisely as he wished he had let her alone, he hoped and quite as fervently that she had covered her tracks, that there would be no trial, nothing but inept conjectures and that forgetfulness in which all things, good and bad, lose their way. The futility of wishing passed. The time for action had come. He motioned. "Is Benny here?" "He left this noon, sir." "Did he say anything?"
The Roman senate in the time of Cæsar and Cicero, was therefore really an assembly of atheists. That great orator, in his harangue for Cluentius, says to the whole senate in assembly: "What ill does death do him? we reject all the inept fables of the nether regions: of what then has death deprived him? of nothing but the consciousness of suffering."
Iglesias' rare and gracious smile had an almost cruel edge to it. "The machine shall become a man again," he said. "And the man shall amuse himself. How, I don't yet know, but I will find out. Work has made me dull and inept." He straightened himself up, tired, yet unbroken, defiant, aware though the horror of the Outer Darkness was yet upon him of purpose still militant and unspent.
