"But Lottie's just the yimage of you," insisted Tony, bent on discovering some tie of relationship between the two. "I can't help that. I guess it's just a queerity, though I'd like to find out I had some sure-enough cousins which I didn't know anything about. Besides, Lottie is lots darker than me. Her hair is black and so are her eyes. Least I guess they are what you'd call black.
"I thought you said her name was Chesney," remarked Keeler, as he returned the letter. "Oh well, she claims to have been married to two or three different men. Calling herself Mrs. Somers seems to help her keep her self-respect. She says Somers is dead. For my part, I never enquired whether there ever was a sure-enough Mr. Somers or not. But I am sure she can help us in this business.
Take you way up into the mountains, and when you got used to roughing it in sure-enough wilderness say you'd helped me haul timber for a flume then we'd be real pals. You have the stuff in you, but you still need toughening before " "Listen to me, Milton.
It's a great chance, a magnificent opening. The man was so pleased with the way I talked he's new to the business, so that must be his excuse that I am to be the president."

I see a chance to horn in on a prospect that's sure to pay exes and maybe pan out a pile, but I need a good man of your profession in with me. How about you?" "I'd jump into anything clean," asserted Barry promptly. "But what's the golden hoodle?" "A brigantine and sealed orders," grinned Little, with an air of mock mystery. "Are you a sure-enough skipper, though?" Barry nodded, then turned.
And inside I was turning as hard and fast as a sure-enough squirrel turns; but outside I was just mechanical. I wonder sometimes I don't blaze up right before people's eyes. I'm so often on fire that is, my mind and heart are that I think at times my body will surely catch.
Your notion looks to me . . . lots of old accepted notions look like that to me . . . like a good big dose of soothing syrup to get people safely past the time in their existences when they might do some sure-enough personal living on their own hook." He paused and added in a meditative murmur, "That time is so damn short as it is!" He turned hastily to the old lady with an apology.
The poor man had been exhausted by Cousin Egbert's well-meant efforts to show him something exciting, and he was now suffering from sure-enough shell shock, which he'd had before in more official circumstances.
They contained interesting accounts of the doings at home and also much concerning various properties, none of which, from all accounts, appealed to my fancy. Reader, I was hard to please.
