A drink of beer or two heightens a man's appreciation of music, and the way the boys applauded my singing makes me rather regret the Volstead Act. It queered my act. Since beer disappeared nobody has asked me to sing. Prohibition may be good for the health but it is sure death to art. Those were happy days.
"Games," said the college. "Only games. Don't go adventuring down into life." Then I found Joe Kramer. He had "queered" himself at the beginning in college. I had barely known him. He belonged to no fraternity, and except on the athletic field he kept out of all our genial life.
I made the mistake of telling Jake the trick when he was strong. Of course, he could not pull it off, and in the times since when he did need it, it was too late, for his first failure had queered it. He won't even believe it now. He thinks I am kidding him. Ain't that right, Jake?" And from cell thirteen Jake rapped back, "Don't swallow it, Darrell. It's a sure fairy story."
He took a few restless paces about the room. "I'll go down and pump the major," he decided finally. "Maybe unconsciously he'll help me to remember. I'm in a fog. He ought to know Garrison. If I am Billy Garrison then by my present rank deception I've queered a good record. But I know I'm not. I'm a nobody. A dishonest nobody to boot."
"Out of the carnival?" cried several of her listeners in chorus. "And Hester," cried Bobby, "is in the Dress Parade. What did I tell you? Gee Gee was just hoping to queer us." "It is Hester Grimes who has queered us," Laura said, much more sternly than she usually spoke. "And we were all warned to be so careful!" "Now, don't blame Hessie!" cried Hester's chum angrily.
Is there no way of escape?" "Nonsense! We've queered this antiquated old fossil forever. Two real live gods are worth ten thousand stone quarries like that. If you say so, I'll have a few of his worshippers take him down and toss him in the river." The big room was devoid of furniture save for the rugs and several blocks of stone grouped about the idol.
"There isn't much good talking, of course. On the other hand, you may as well know what I feel. I've had tremendous luck in one way and another. I never expected to get the regiment, for instance and your coming out here and all that. I've seen how jolly things could be." "You haven't had them," said Lionel in a low voice. "The things you wanted most, I mean. Your pitch was queered too soon."
He was selling hens and hammocks, as he'd done since days of youth, and he queered himself with many, for he never told the truth.
It was widely suggested that all the UFO's were meteors. Two Chicago astronomers queered this. Dr. Gerard Kuiper, director of the University of Chicago observatory, was quoted as flatly saying the UFO's couldn't be meteors. "They are probably man-made," he told the Associated Press. Dr. Oliver Lee, director of Northwestern University's observatory, agreed with Dr.
His eminence of Whitefriars on this burst out into a loud, chuckling, impudent laugh, repeating the word, till his voice was almost inarticulate, "Niggle Green Niggle Green Niggle Green! why, my lord, you would be queered in the drinking of a penny pot of Malmsey, if you cry before you are touched. Why, you have told me the secret even now, had I not had a shrewd guess of it before.
