"H" is hightails

Jack hightails it all the way from Texas and even admits to Ennis that he "Redlined all the way, couldn't get here fast enough."

When Ennis introduced him to Alma, Jack tried to smile graciously, though he was feeling like an interloper.

When Ennis saw that Jack had arrived, he loped down the stairs and into Jack's arms.

Jack and Ennis negotiated where and when their meetings would take place: - "...once in a while in the middle of nowhere."

"O" is out-of-the-way

Ennis realized that he and Jack would call less attention to themselves if they met up in out-of-the way places.

As Ennis hurried down the steps with Jack, he tried to placate Alma by calling out the whereabouts of his smokes.

After just one look, it didn't take long for the boys to realize what they had been missing.

"S" is smell

He could smell Jack -- the intensely familiar odor of cigarettes, musky sweat and a faint sweetness like grass, and with it the rushing cold of the mountain.

"t" is tremendousness

Jack and Ennis recognized the tremendousness of the occasion and threw caution to the wind on that reunion day in 1967.
