After Ennis got a mouthful from Alma, he mouthed off at her, grabbed her wrist and slammed out of the door.

"O" is overdone

"P" is petrification

Ennis's petrification at Alma's questioning of his relationship with Jack soon erupted into violence.

"Q" is quaky

Ennis became quaky when he realized that Alma had knowledge of the nature of his relationship with Jack.
Def: Shaky, or tremulous; quaking.

"S" is silent

In 1967 Alma remained silent after she watched her husband kissing his fishing buddy;
but ten years later she just had to spill the beans.

"U" is unkindest
« Reply #8799 on: November 22, 2006, 10:42:42 am »
When Alma was ranting about Ennis' "fishing trips", she threw out the unkindest cut of them all by calling Jack, "Jack Nasty."
