1 Ralph stood by him, breathless.
2 Jack laid his on the trunk by Ralph.
3 Ralph came forward and stood by Piggy.
4 The fat boy stood by him, breathing hard.
5 The naked crooks of his knees were plump, caught and scratched by thorns.
6 He was intimidated by this uniformed superiority and the offhand authority in Merridew's voice.
7 The bat was the child's shadow, shrunk by the vertical sun to a patch between the hurrying feet.
8 Ralph, faced by the task of translating all this into an explanation, stood on his head and fell over.
9 A kind of glamour was spread over them and the scene and they were conscious of the glamour and made happy by it.

11 Ralph had been deceived before now by the specious appearance of depth in a beach pool and he approached this one preparing to be disappointed.

15 He was clambering heavily among the creepers and broken trunks when a bird, a vision of red and yellow, flashed upwards with a witch-like cry; and this cry was echoed by another.
16 Here the beach was interrupted abruptly by the square motif of the landscape; a great platform of pink granite thrust up uncompromisingly through forest and terrace and sand and lagoon to make a raised jetty four feet high.
17 The most usual feature of the rock was a pink cliff surmounted by a skewed block; and that again surmounted, and that again, till the pinkness became a stack of balanced rock projecting through the looped fantasy of the forest creepers.
