“then dog-like…
uncomfortably on all fours yet unheeding his discomfort (Jack)
“his sandy hair…
considerably longer than it has been when they dropped in” (Jack)
“a sharpened stick…
about five feet long trailed from his right hand” (Jack)
“except for a pair of tattered shorts…
held up by his knife-belt, he was naked” (Jack)
“he tried to convey the compulsion…
to track down and kill that was swallowing him up” (Jack)
“eyes that in this frustration…
seemed bolting and nearly mad” (Jack)
“for a minute became less a hunter…
than a furtive thing, ape-like among the tangle of trees” (Jack)
“all day I’ve been working with…
Simon” (Ralph)
“then he raised his spear…
and sneaked forward” (Jack)
“the quick, hard patter…
of hoofs, a castanet sound, seductive, maddening- the promise of meat”
“he swung his right arm..
and hurled the spear with all his strength” (Jack)
“I’ve got to get a barb…
on this spear!” (Jack)
“But you can feel as if you’re not hunting…
but being-hunted, as if something’s behind you all the time in the jungle” (Jack)
“the madness…
came into his eyes again” (Jack)
“Of course there’s nothing in it…
Only-only” (Jack)
