Joe Aguirre told Ennis that somebody with supplies would meet him down at the bridge on Fridays at noonday.

The delivery of groceries by Monsieur Le Basque was a one-day-a-week happening.

"R" is racer

On the third morning there were the clouds Ennis had expected, a gray racer out of the West, a bar of darkness driving wind before it and small flakes. It faded after an hour into tender spring snow that heaped wet and heavy. By nightfall it had turned colder. Jack and Ennis passed a joint back and forth, the fire burning late, Jack restless and bitching about the cold, poking the flames with a stick, twisting the dial of the transistor radio until the batteries died.

As Junior got out of the truck, Ennis reminded her he'd pick her up on Sunday after church.

"T" is they'd

They believed themselves invisible, not knowing Joe Aguirre had watched them through his 10x42 binoculars for ten minutes one day, waiting until they'd buttoned up their jeans, waiting until Ennis rode back to the sheep, before bringing up the message that Jack's people had sent word that his uncle Harold was in the hospital with pneumonia and expected not to make it.  Though he did.

"U" is unhappily

Jack responded angrily and unhappily when Ennis told him they would have to skip August,  saying: “November. What in hell happened a August? Tell you what, we said August, nine, ten days..."

"W" is weekdays'

Ennis felt the stress of the weekdays' obligations and liked to kick back on Saturday; church social be damned.

=aside= Players
Have a good Memorial Day weekend!

"A" is affair
« Reply #17419 on: May 23, 2008, 05:06:50 pm »
One night Jack told Ennis about the affair he supposedly was having:

"I kind of got this thing goin' with a ranch foreman's wife over in Childress.  Expect to get shot by Lureen or the husband every time I slip off to see her."
