Proulx describes Ennis in later years:

"A benign growth appeared on his eyelid and gave it a drooping appearance...."

Ennis carefully folds and smells/kisses his daughter's sweater when she drives away without it.

That closet is going to contain a garment from every person Ennis ever met -- ooops, sorry!

After the tragedy of Jack's death, when Ennis visits the Twist home and goes upstairs to Jack's old bedroom, Jack's ghost beckons Ennis into Jack's closet where Ennis incredibly finds "their two shirts".

Ennis and Jack reignited their horizontal connection at the motel during their reunion.

=comment=
Horizontally speaking, they were at their very best.

That's a unique description and I knew about it first as
we were on the phone long-distance when U posted it.

Because of the pissy pup tent, the sheep, and the horses, Ennis was jumentous.

jumentous adj. - having a strong animal smell

=compliment=
Great word - a toast to our own ABC's Merriam-Webster.

Alma decided that her marriage to Ennis was kaput because of his disinclination to step out and have any fun, his yearning for low paid, long houred ranch work, his propensity to roll to the wall and sleep as soon as he hit the bed, and his failure to look for a decent permanent job with the county or the power company.
