Usage examples of "meeker".

When Colodny had disappeared, Meeker sat on his heels and began to pick up the broken shards of glass.

But I didn't see any familiar faces until I got to the main reception lobby and glanced over at the elevators,- both Dancer and the dusty pulp artist, Ozzie Meeker, were standing there, each of them loaded down with armfuls of small, framed oil paintings.

I said to Meeker, "Couldn't help noticing that you and Frank Colodny had a little altercation last night.

After a while Dancer showed up with Ozzie Meeker, looking twice as squiffed as he had in the bar earlier, and I quit mingling to keep an eye on him.

I picked out the ones belonging to Cybil Wade and Ozzie Meeker and kept my eye on them.

Beyond a slight head jerk Meeker didn't show any reaction at all, but Cybil seemed to go through a whole series of them.

But Ozzie Meeker kept on sitting in his chair, the only person in the room who was.

I gestured to her to wait for me, and when she nodded I made my way through the rows of empty chairs to where Meeker was sitting.

Think about something else—Eberhardt's marital crisis, what I would say to Ozzie Meeker when I got to Yoloy Island, theories on the murder of Frank Colodny and the solution to the "Hoodwink" enigma.

It could be Meeker had a second skiff and had gone fishing in one of the other sloughs.

If Meeker had committed suicide, and if there was a note somewhere saying he'd done it because he had been responsible for Frank Colodny's death, then that would tie everything off in a nice little bundle.

And I kept thinking about the two names, Colodny's and Cybil Wade's, presumably written by Meeker on the map of Arizona.

No matter what Loomis and Jeronczyk said, no matter what the evidence seemed to indicate, I was convinced that somehow Ozzie Meeker had been murdered.

I had already called Kerry from a pay phone in Rio Vista to tell her the news about Meeker and to cancel our dinner date for tonight.

All I'm interested in is finding who killed Colodny and Meeker, and getting Russ Dancer out of jail.
