While Monroe and the girls watched TV in the living room, Alma dealt with the dishes and the leftovers.

No wonder she was so crabby.

Alma spoke nastily of Ennis's non-fishing relationship with Jack.

Trying to start a conversation with Ennis while she dealt with the mess in the kitchen, Alma's opening line was:  "You ought to get married again, Ennis."

"P" is perkily
« Reply #8437 on: November 09, 2006, 10:14:40 am »
Ennis told his rodeo riding story as perkily as he could, considering that Alma was sitting there, not enjoying anything about the dinner.

def - adv. Having a buoyant or self-confident air; briskly cheerful.

Alma repeatedly ordered Ennis to get out of her house:  "Get out, get out, get out!  Get out of my house, Ennis del Mar!  You hear me?  You get out!"
