"A" is ablutionary

When Ennis had his ablutionary interlude, Jack busied himself with peeling potatoes and tried hard not to look.

Aguirre hit Jack with a low blow when he said, “Twist, you guys wasn’t gettin paid to leave the dogs baby-sit the sheep while you stemmed the rose.”

"C" is contradictory

Ennis spent much of his time just trying to stand things, until he could stand it no longer, and then he acted in contradictory ways.

"E" is embedded

The memory of the dozy embrace was embedded in Jack's heart as the one moment of true happiness he had known in his life.

For listening to the creative writer, sharp
editor and expert proofreader Will-S and
revising your BBM moniker from the ugly
~"horrible_starving rhinocerouses"~ (sic)
to the simple, true and pretty "Sheyne"! 
(Most BBM-ers, not all, accept my correct
spelling, better-looking and sensible advice.)
Maybe others Will do it on New Year's Day!!

"G" is ghostly

"It allows Lee to draw out a theme that's been present in his films from the start:  the notion that repressed passion does no one any good.  In Brokeback Mountain, it turns vibrant men ghostly."

"H" is horse's

How did Jack know that Ennis hadn't yet had the opportunity to sin? He got it from the horse's mouth.
