1 There must be four of you; Henry and you, Robert and Maurice.
2 Simon knelt on all fours and was sick till his stomach was empty.
3 The four biguns crept into the shelter and burrowed under the leaves.
4 On the left were four small logs, one of them--the farthest--lamentably springy.
5 He noticed Ralph's scarred nakedness, and the sombre silence of all four of them.
6 Memory of the dance that none of them had attended shook all four boys convulsively.
7 In front of them, only three or four yards away, was a rock-like hump where no rock should be.
8 They became motionless, gripped in each other's arms, four unwinking eyes aimed and two mouths open.

10 The boys made a compact little group that moved over the beach, four plate-like shadows dancing and mingling beneath them.
11 In the short chill of dawn the four boys gathered round the black smudge where the fire had been, while Ralph knelt and blew.

14 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.
