Mrs.Twist displayed the dignity and character of a nurturer.

Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

"O" is outlandish

Sometimes the can of beans with the spoon handle jutting out appears in Ennis's dreams as well, but it's in a cartoon shape and outlandish colors, which gives the dreams "a flavor of comic obscenity."

"P" is phantasmagoria

Ennis's dream was a phantasmagoria consisting of images of Jack, a can of beans and a spoon that resembled a tire iron.

"S" is spoon

Around that time Jack began to appear in his dreams, Jack as he had first seen him, curly-headed and smiling and bucktoothed, talking about getting up off his pockets and into the control zone, but the can of beans with the spoon handle jutting out and balanced on the log was there as well, in a cartoon shape and lurid colors that gave the dreams a flavor of comic obscenity.  [story]

"T" is treasures

Even though Ennis's dreams have a "flavor of comic obscenity", he treasures them because Jack was in them.

"U" is unreal

The unreal quality of his dream did not bother Ennis overmuch; he was simply glad to have the image of Jack to call up in his mind once more.

"V" is visioned

Ennis blows on his black coffee, thinking of Jack whom he had  visioned on a panel of his dream; bringing back "that old, cold time on the mountain when they owned the world and nothing seemed wrong."

"W" is wholly

Although soon to be jobless and homeless and wholly uncertain about the next phase of his life,  Ennis "is suffused with a sense of pleasure because Jack Twist was in his dream."

"X" is xplicably

The reason for the unreal quality of Ennis's dream was not xplicably clear to him; he was simply glad to have the image of Jack to call up in his mind once more.
