Ennis was more perky when engaging in extramarital extracurriculars with Jack than he ever was with Alma.

Alma thought Ennis was going to give her a helping hand with the dishes until he said "Once burned."

"I" is invoking
« Reply #8375 on: November 07, 2006, 01:34:48 pm »
According to Annie Proulx, "After the pie Alma got him off in the kitchen" invoking remarriage, seemingly as a test to see if he were over Jack Twist yet.

Alma was jockeying into position in the kitchen; she outed a very unperky Ennis:  win, show and place.

"K" is knock-on
« Reply #8377 on: November 07, 2006, 01:48:06 pm »
There was a knock-on effect to Ennis and Alma's Thanksgiving fight:

Ennis "didn't try to see his girls for a long time, figuring they would look him up when they got the sense and years to move out from Alma."  [story]

Ennis resented Alma's low-blow insinuations about his "fishing trips" with Jack Twist.

After the brown trout discussion, there was nothing marital left between Alma and Ennis.
