*still can't think of the thirties*

Is this the half you're talking about: "...showed Ennis how to pack the mules, two packs and a riding load on each animal ring-lashed with double diamonds and secured with half hitches..."

How about: a thousand (from the short story, not the movie, early on)

Yes, that's the one.  Is this yours?  I've loved this line -

a thousand ewes and their lambs flowed up the trail like dirty water

Next: none, from the short story, in reference to one of the boys' children.

Jack: "I didn't want none a either kind"

How about: third (in the second half of the short story)

I gotta go for now, be back later on to play  :-*

On the third morning there were the clouds Ennis had expected

Next: Very, very close to that, a sentence that has two different numbers in it.

"Good enough place," looking at the level bench above the river, two or three fire-rings from old hunting camps...

Okay, also nearby, two more numbers within same paragraph as eachother. (Okay, I'm really gone now  :))

Elle, hmmm, well do you mean: "Ennis put his arm around Jack, pulled him close, said he saw his girls about once a month, Alma Jr. a shy 17 year old with his beanpole length..."?

Well, I may as well confess that that was my two number example that I was talking about in my last post. But, I actually meant the 17 and then the 15 in the next sentence: "he was worried about his boy who was, no doubt about it, dyslexic or something, couldn't get anything right, 15 years old..."

Anyway, I may as well come up with a new one for ya, how about: 12 (in the short story)

 "Fridays twelve noon be down at the bridge..."

But you know what, that still wasn't the two numbers in one sentence I had in mind!  Jack says it, on one of their fishin trips.  And when he does, it's hot!
