"He is a sure-enough fighting man.
"He's a sure-enough, stingin' lizard, I'll say. Walked out! Huh!" A few moments after De Launay had rounded a corner and disappeared with his ill-gotten habiliments, excited policemen and citizens came rushing to where Sucatash, with nothing on his mind but his hat, strolled along the sidewalk.

"Is is it really sure-enough what we've been doing, or am I making up. Stick hard, please real hard." Van Landing laughed. "No need for the pin." He threw it away. "You're awake, all right. I've been asleep a long time, and you have waked me, Carmencita." For two delicious hours the child led and Van Landing followed.
"'Tain't a 'sure-enough' cave," explained Willy; "but it's 'most as good as one. The old rock fire-place is just like a cave." "The gullies are so deep you can't get there except that one way," declared Frank. "Even the Yankees couldn't find you there," asserted Willy.

"I could uh set up a sort of smoke screen," said Mike. "We'll fake we're going to smash something and let those saboteurs find it out. They'll see it as a chance to do their stuff with us to run interference for them. Sally, does your father sure-enough trust us?" Sally nodded. "He doesn't talk very cordially, but he trusts you."
