Old Man Twist and LD Newsome were a couple of boorish old-timers.

"P" is poking

On the third morning there were the clouds Ennis had expected, a gray racer out of the West, a bar of darkness driving wind before it and small flakes. It faded after an hour into tender spring snow that heaped wet and heavy. By nightfall it had turned colder. Jack and Ennis passed a joint back and forth, the fire burning late, Jack restless and bitching about the cold, poking the flames with a stick, twisting the dial of the transistor radio until the batteries died.

Lureen said she would have relayed news of Jack's death to Ennis if she had known his name and address.

Both Old Man Twist and LD Newsome tried to be studlier than thou, but they were actually quacks.

"T" is twits

Even though Earl and Rich "was pretty tough old birds," they were considered a couple of twits by their neighbors.

"U" is unluckily

Unluckily for Ennis and Jack, Joe Aguirre decided to bring the sheep down early because a new storm was moving in from the Pacific.

Ennis's resistance weakens when he comes out of the cold into the tent.

Gradually, over the course of that first summer, tent time became an all-night event.
