I've heard the story a dozen times already." "I only told him to mind his own business." "He can't. He's a born meddler. Now he's queered you with the whole place." "Can't help it. I wasn't going to let him get away with his impudence. Why should I?" Miller shrugged. "Policy, my boy. Better take the advice of Cousin James and crawl into your shell till the storm has pelted past."

Didn't they have to die sometime and could they ever have picked a luckier time to do it? I ask you now, could they?" "Great God!" exclaimed the reporter. But the manager went on.

By and by those men who had rolled in their blankets were breathing deep and slow in heavy slumber. "Jim, I take it this hyar Riggs has queered our deal," said Snake Anson, in low voice. "I reckon," replied Wilson.
He's experimented continually at your expense; he's bungled the job from beginning to end with his carelessness his 'good enough' work. "You were queered from the start with them armatures he wound back there on the Coast. He and Jennings took an old fifty horse-power motor and tried to wind it for seventy-five.

Mebbe the doc's queered me. He's pussy-footin' about with 'em a good deal. But I'll talk with you about that later. It's me an' you ag'in' the rest of 'em, seems to me, Rainey. The doc's aimin' to be the Big Boss aboard this schooner. He's got the skipper buffaloed. But not me, not by a jugful." He slammed his big fist against the side of the bunk so viciously that it seemed to jar the cabin.
"You accepted my bid show yore twenty-five dollars or take my two bits." "You close that face of yourn!" exploded the marshal, angrily. "I don't mind a little fun, but you've got altogether too damned much to say. You've queered the bidding, an' now you shut up!" "I said two bits an' I mean just that.

"Do?" says Old Hickory. "Tell him to send for a glazier." Well, I expect I've gone and done it again. Queered myself with Auntie. Vee's, of course.
I was queered, anyhow, because I wouldn't part with my horse. It can't matter so much if people think I did that just to help win a race. But if they knew your your father did it, an' if Creech's horses starve, why it'd be a disgrace for him an' you." "Lin Slone you'll accept the blame!" she whispered, with wide, dark eyes on him, hands at his shoulders. "Sure I will," replied Slone.
They are in with Abe and they queered us put a crimp in the hull game. Now they say Abe ain't here. Wot are we going to do, tell me that now, what are we goin' to do?" "Them fellers!" exclaimed Larry Jaley, catching sight of the boys. "I remember 'em. Say, maybe they heard us talkin'!" "Sure they must have," mumbled Sol Blugg. "Do you know these men?" asked Mrs. Carmody.
When you have a great fortune you begin to appreciate the things that money cannot buy." "Oh, your money!" he said. That word in her mouth always stung him. "Well, you ought to hate my money," she remarked cheerfully. "It queered you, didn't it? And then all rich people are detestable, anyway selfish to the core, and horrid.
