"X" is xaggerate
« Reply #12241 on: March 29, 2007, 11:14:57 pm »
OMT thought Jack had a tendency to xaggerate, saying to Ennis:  "He had some half-baked idea the two a you was goin a move up here, build a log cabin, and help me run this ranch and bring it up. Then this spring he’s got another one’s goin a come up here with him and build a place and help run the ranch, some ranch neighbor a his from down in Texas. He’s goin a split up with his wife and come back here. So he says. But like most a Jack’s ideas it never come to pass.”

Someone please announce.  See y'all in a week.

"C" is cretonne

ENNIS sees the closet.  Gets up, walks over to it.

A shallow cavity with a wooden rod braced across it, a faded cretonne curtain on a string half-open, closing the closet off from the rest of the room.  In the closet hangs two pairs of jeans crease-ironed and folded neatly over wire hangers.  On the floor a pair of worn packer boots.  [screenplay]

We feel for Ennis, how distressing this journey is for him.

According to Proulx, Ennis examines Jack's shirt which "seemed heavy until he saw there was another shirt inside it, the sleeves carefully worked down inside Jack's sleeves."

It is to Ennis's good fortune that Mr. Twist doesn't object to his leaving with his shirt and Jack's.

Speaking of which, it is to my good fortune that
you are here.  Happy Anniversary!
