"B" is biddable

Ennis's occasional dreams about Jack were not biddable, but when they did come, he savored them.

"C" is curly-headed

Around that time Jack began to appear in his dreams, Jack as he had first seen him, curly-headed and smiling and bucktoothed, talking about getting up off his pockets and into the control zone....

"D" is dreaming

Ennis's dreaming seemed to remind him of the disparity between his reality and what he wanted to believe.

"E" is evenhanded

It was hard for Ennis to be evenhanded when it came to the disparity between his reality and what he wanted to believe.

Ennis dreams, glimpsing "Jack as he had first seen him, curly-headed and smiling and bucktoothed, talking about getting up off his pockets and into the control zone,"

"H" is hallucinatory
« Reply #15926 on: December 13, 2007, 01:12:50 pm »

"I" is infused

In the prologue, Ennis is infused "with a sense of pleasure because Jack Twist was in his dream."
