1 The skull regarded Ralph like one who knows all the answers and won't tell.
2 Then he backed away, keeping his face to the skull that lay grinning at the sky.
3 He stood, the skull about on a level with his face, and held up his hair with two hands.
4 The stick that had supported a skull hampered him but he would not be parted from his only weapon.
5 Then he was licking his bruised knuckles and looking at the bare stick, while the skull lay in two pieces, its grin now six feet across.
6 He walked slowly into the middle of the clearing and looked steadily at the skull that gleamed as white as ever the conch had done and seemed to jeer at him cynically.
7 Suddenly he blundered into the open, found himself again in that open space--and there was the fathom-wide grin of the skull, no longer ridiculing a deep blue patch of sky but jeering up into a blanket of smoke.
8 Now it was a pool of shadows and Ralph nearly flung himself behind a tree when he saw something standing in the center; but then he saw that the white face was bone and that the pig's skull grinned at him from the top of a stick.
