"M" is molehill

Jack had a tendency to make a 'mountain' out of a molehill when he couldn't find his blue parka, or didn't want to call Bobby's teacher because he complained too much.

"Q" is quart-size

Proulx described Ennis and Jack as having "a high-time supper by the fire, a can of beans each, fried potatoes, and a quart of whiskey on shares"; thus, the whiskey was in a quart-size bottle.

Ennis restlessly waits for Jack's four-year-long return, while smokin' and drinkin' and sittin' in his finery.
