Jack wants to bring his misplaced blue parka on his fishing trip, but Lureen says she hasn't seen it since the big ice storm.

"I" is items

Jack's blue parka was one of the items he took with him to keep warm during their Wyoming wanderings.  He also took along vests, hats, gloves... and Ennis.

"L" is likelihood

Jack wasn't much of a musician, but he certainly liked playing the harmonica and singing hymns.

"N' is nightlong

Alma became even more upset when Ennis's reunion with Jack was more than nightlong.

"O" is oddly

As Ennis's creel case remained oddly new-looking over the years, Alma decided to test her theory and put a note in it before Ennis left on one of his trips; sure enough, it remained unopened.

"P" is priority

Alma realized over the years what Ennis's first priority was - and it wasn't her.

"R" is roughneck's

While on his way to the Black and Blue Eagle bar, somehow or other Ennis became acquainted with an angry roughneck's fist.

"S" is stark

Ennis's taciturn, gruff manner when at home with Alma was in stark contrast to his relaxed, smiling behavior when he was on vacation with Jack.

"T" is taciturnity

Taciturnity at home was Ennis's way.
