"L" is littering
« Reply #11260 on: February 16, 2007, 03:01:34 pm »
Jack's and Ennis's clothing were littering the floor and furniture at the Motel Siesta:

"Friend," said Jack, "I was in Texas rodeoin. How I met Lureen. Look over on that chair."

On the back of the soiled orange chair he saw the shine of a buckle. "Bullridin?"     [Proulx]

Jack and Ennis were messing around in the messy, littered room at the Motel Siesta.

"N" is nostrils

The camera shot of Ennis and Jack at the Siesta Motel is so close and tight that every twitch of the nostrils or flick of an eyelash is easily discernible.

"O" is occasionally
« Reply #11263 on: February 16, 2007, 10:04:46 pm »
Ennis admitted that he wrung it out occasionally, while thinking about Jack.  Jack denied doing it with other men, but Annie Proulx indicated that he "had been riding more than bulls, not rolling his own."

def - 100 times in four years.

At the post office Ennis pushed his reply postcard to Jack through the postal slot for out-of-town mail.

"R" is relishing
« Reply #11265 on: February 16, 2007, 10:46:34 pm »
As he lay next to the fire relishing being with Jack again after four years, Ennis's face was suffused with a beatific smile.

"S" is suffusing

The beatific smile suffusing Ennis's face came from his heartfelt joy at being with Jack once again after four years.

"T" is treading

Proulx wrote:

They seized each other by the shoulders, hugged mightily, squeezing the breath out of each other, saying, son of a bitch, son of a bitch, then, and easily as the right key turns the lock tumblers, their mouths came together, and hard, Jack's big teeth bringing blood, his hat falling to the floor, stubble rasping, wet saliva welling, and the door opening and Alma looking out for a few seconds at Ennis's straining shoulders and shutting the door again and still they clinched, pressing chest and groin and thigh and leg together, treading on each other's toes until they pulled apart to breathe and Ennis, not big on endearments, said what he said to his horses and daughters, little darlin'.

"U" is unsullied

"Last one in!" shouted Ennis, and the boys stripped off their clothes and jumped joyously into the unsullied waters of the mountain lake.

V is ventilated
« Reply #11269 on: February 17, 2007, 08:18:42 am »
Both Jack and Ennis ventilated their true feelings at the Motel Siesta.  Fifteen years later they were still at the same point in their lives together.

def - air out; make known
