"I" is impairment

Ennis's type of visual impairment -- farsightedness -- makes him "dislike reading anything except Hamley's saddle catalog."

"L" is looker-on

Aguirre was an unseen looker-on, spying on Jack and Ennis for ten minutes one day.

"M" is modulated

When Ennis heard Alma ask him to wipe Jenny's nose, he shouted back, "If I had three hands I could," then modulated his tone to hush the babies.

Ennis couldn't help but hear the screaming of his daughters, who were secreting nasally.

After Jack and Ennis touched base with each other at the reunion, they started participating in several "fishing trips" a year.

Aguirre's retinas were permanently scarred by the sight of Jack and Ennis cavorting outside the tent.

"S" is shuddering
« Reply #18517 on: December 05, 2008, 08:27:00 pm »
They had stood that way for a long time in front of the fire, its burning tossing ruddy chunks of light, the shadow of their bodies a single column against the rock. The minutes ticked by from the round watch in Ennis's pocket, from the sticks in the fire settling into coals. Stars bit through the wavy heat layers above the fire. Ennis's breath came slow and quiet, he hummed, rocked a little in the sparklight and Jack leaned against the steady heartbeat, the vibrations of the humming like faint electricity and, standing, he fell into sleep that was not sleep but something else drowsy and tranced until Ennis, dredging up a rusty but still useable phrase from the childhood time before his mother died, said, "Time to hit the hay, cowboy. I got a go. Come on, you're sleepin on your feet like a horse," and gave Jack a shake, a push, and went off in the darkness. Jack heard his spurs tremble as he mounted, the words "see you tomorrow," and the horse's shuddering snort, grind of hoof on stone.

While Lureen and LaShawn apply a makeup touch-up, Randall is making Jack an offer to stay in touch.

"U" is unfounded

Ennis's "if he shows" fears of not seeing the long-lost Jack were unfounded.
