There are a whole lot of words in there that are now just dripping with innuendo. (You see what I did there?) "Ejaculated"? Really. One of the female characters says "I wish I was a boy", and the other agrees, and one of the boys says "tough luck you're not." Really?!

I have always been taught that in 1929 gay meant happy, or fun, not homosexual. Destiny is trying way to hard to make his/her point. McFarlane may have resented having to write the books to get by, but that doesn't meen he was hiding homosexual innuendo in the prose. This is a 2007 reading of 1929 writing. Has Destiny read much fiction from that time period? If so, Destiny may realize that language was used differently then. BTW, Why is it Gay for 4 boys to want to explore caves? Why is Destiny looking so hard to find a gay theme for a juvenile detective story from the late 20’s? I found the article very annoying. Since when is WiIkipedia the authority on slang of the 20’s?
