Alma's misery voice didn't slow Ennis down as he and Jack bolted down the stairs.

Ennis and Jack could blow whale spouts together, but Alma had to be contented to smoke alone.

Alma tried delaying Ennis' leaving by asking him for smokes, but it didn't slow him down.

Having found themselves with better things to do than make small talk with Alma, Ennis and Jack were exiting the apartment in a hurry.

"F" is fags

Ennis made sure he had fags in his other shirt pocket, so that Alma wouldn't expect him to interrupt or delay his jouncing to get smokes for her.

Jack and Ennis started out with regular smokes, but by their last meeting they were smoking ganja joints.

After a little jouncing, Jack and Ennis shared a smoke and decided to hash things out in bed.

"I" is inhales

While Proulx's Ennis says "Alma, this is Jack Twist, Jack, my wife Alma," he inhales "the intensely familiar odor of cigarettes, musky sweat and a faint sweetness like grass, and with it the rushing cold of the mountain."

Things started lightening up again for Jack and Ennis as soon as they left the apartment, while Alma was left out in the cold.
