Jack's mother was a proponent of that "old-time religion" of Pentacostalism.

"T" is tranced
« Reply #6045 on: August 13, 2006, 06:23:05 am »
"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......"
(From the short story)

"V" is vouchsafement
« Reply #6047 on: August 13, 2006, 10:34:44 am »
Jack’s father-in-law gave him a job with his company mainly as a vouchsafement because he’d married his daughter.

Def: to grant as a privilege or special favor

"Alma goes to the window.  Looks out...sees Ennis throw his stuff in the back of Jack's truck.  Gets in the passenger side, Jack gets in the driver's side.  They pull away as Riverton comes to life.  Alma, pale, filled with disquiet, pain, fear, watches them go.  Cries."  [screenplay]

"X" is xpectation

In 1963 Ennis came to Signal with little xpectation of companionship, friendship, or even respect.
