ill-adjusted

He had been running down by jerks, during his last speech, like a sort of ill-adjusted alarum.

He died in his thirties because his ill-adjusted body could no longer struggle its creaking machinery along.

But he was no mentally ill-adjusted adolescent or madman who did not know what he was doing.

Chaotic indiscipline, ill-adjusted effort, spasmodic aims, these give the quality of all my Bromstead memories.

The faint smell of smoke came with the breeze, the smoke from torches and ill-adjusted oil lamps.

This time it was the sound of cart-wheels creaking through the mud, and of ill-adjusted harness jingling with the movement of wearily-plodding horses.

There was an ill-adjusted widow, and an amateur painter who gave her inadequate comfort; there was a Rabelaisian cripple, paralysed from the waist down.
