For some minutes he abandoned himself to the satisfaction of a man whose escape has been narrow but complete. Eventually, however, his brows drew together with an annoyance which had strayed into his thoughts and poisoned them. He had handled the situation ineptly and expensively. He had given his young wife carte blanche to do what she chose with his old house.
Bangkok has been called, and not ineptly, the Venice of the East, for it is covered with a net-work of canals, or klongs, which spread out in every direction. In sampans, houseboats and other craft, moored to the banks of these canals, dwells the major portion of the city's inhabitants.
She felt it her duty to tell Dick of the sinfulness of his conduct, and to try to justify the punishment, but her words fell ineptly from her lips, she knew them to be vain against the power that held Dick silent and tearless, and yet without a trace of boyish stubbornness.
Here is no wild exaltation, no hysterical obedience to hotly-conceived impulse. Here is purpose, as cold as it is lofty, to liberate France and pay with her life for the privilege of doing so. That lover of hers, whom we are presently to see, has compared her ineptly with Joan of Arc, that other maid of France.
Bagration was about to be forced to surrender when he was saved by the foolishness of Jérôme, who had not accepted the advice which Davout had given him, and failing to recognise the superior wisdom of the experienced and successful marshal, had decided to go his own way, whereupon he manoeuvred his troops so ineptly that Bagration was able to escape from this first danger.
The flapper pushed her chair swiftly back. "Forgot my handkerchief," said she. "There it is," prompted Bean ineptly. The flapper placed it to her lips and rose to her feet. "'S perfe'ly old rubber mattin'," she uttered through the fabric, and started toward the doorway. Bean observed that incoming diners anxiously made way for her. He followed swiftly and overtook the flapper at her door.
Then replied Kai Lung, after a space of thought: "Not ineptly is it written: 'When the leading carriage is upset the next one is more careful, and Ming-shu has taken the proverb to his heart. To counteract his detestable plot will not be easy, but it should not be beyond our united power, backed by a reasonable activity on the part of our protecting ancestors."
"Everything listed against its date," the other returned imperturbably, "down to a pair of white buck shoes for a lady to-day a generous present for some enslaver." "My sister," Gordon muttered ineptly. Five hundred and thirty dollars, he repeated incredulously to himself. Five hundred.... "How long has it been standing?" he asked. The other consulted the book.
Oscar showed a touch of patronage, the superiority of the senior, in his intercourse with Beardsley, and often praised him ineptly, whereas Beardsley to the last spoke of Oscar as a showman, and hoped drily that he knew more about literature than he did about art.
