1 The shore was fledged with palm trees.
2 He was shorter than the fair boy and very fat.
3 He climbed over a broken trunk and was out of the jungle.
4 The fair boy was peering at the reef through screwed-up eyes.
5 When we was coming down I looked through one of them windows.
6 All round him the long scar smashed into the jungle was a bath of heat.
7 Behind this was the darkness of the forest proper and the open space of the scar.
8 I was the only boy in our school what had asthma, said the fat boy with a touch of pride.
9 The undergrowth at the side of the scar was shaken and a multitude of raindrops fell pattering.
10 Out there, perhaps a mile away, the white surf flinked on a coral reef, and beyond that the open sea was dark blue.
11 Within the irregular arc of coral the lagoon was still as a mountain lake--blue of all shades and shadowy green and purple.
12 In a few seconds the fat boy's grunts were behind him and he was hurrying toward the screen that still lay between him and the lagoon.
13 Though he had taken off his school sweater and trailed it now from one hand, his grey shirt stuck to him and his hair was plastered to his forehead.
14 The ground beneath them was a bank covered with coarse grass, torn everywhere by the upheavals of fallen trees, scattered with decaying coconuts and palm saplings.
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 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 The beach between the palm terrace and the water was a thin stick, endless apparently, for to Ralph's left the perspectives of palm and beach and water drew to a point at infinity; and always, almost visible, was the heat.
