Current Search - but in Lord of the Flies
1 There came a rushing sound from its mouth but nothing more.
2 Here at last was the imagined but never fully realized place leaping into real life.
3 Ralph wiped the salt water off his lips and tried again, but the shell remained silent.
4 Now the shell was no longer a thing seen but not to be touched, Ralph too became excited.
5 The fair boy said this solemnly; but then the delight of a realized ambition overcame him.
6 He tried to be offhand and not too obviously uninterested, but the fat boy hurried after him.

8 There was Maurice, next in size among the choir boys to Jack, but broad and grinning all the time.
9 Jack started to protest but the clamor changed from the general wish for a chief to an election by acclaim of Ralph himself.

16 The fat boy waited to be asked his name in turn but this proffer of acquaintance was not made; the fair boy called Ralph smiled vaguely, stood up, and began to make his way once more toward the lagoon.
17 On either side rocks, cliffs, treetops and a steep slope: forward there, the length of the boat, a tamer descent, tree-clad, with hints of pink: and then the jungly flat of the island, dense green, but drawn at the end to a pink tail.
