and big black eyes” (Ralph)
“he’s a coward…
himself” (Jack to Ralph)
“he just gives orders…
and expects people to obey for nothing” (Jack to Ralph)
“Jack turned….
red in the face”
“all right then…
he said in tones of deep meaning and menace” (Jack to Ralph being chief)
“hands up, said Jack strongly…
whoever wants Ralph not to be chief?”
“the silence continued….
breathless and heavy and full of shame”
“slowly the red drained from Jack’s cheeks…
then came back with a painful rush”
“so that his gaze avoided…
the embarrassment of linking with another’s eye”
“the hands that held the conch…
shook”
“the humiliating tears…
were running from the corner of each eye”

not with you”
“I’m going off by myself…
Anyone who wants to hunt when I do can come too” (Jack)

daring to suggest moving the fire from the mountain”
“so full of pride in his contribution…
to the good of society” (Piggy)
“He’s cracked…
Piggy says about Simon
“the pigs lay, bloated…
bags of fat, sensuously enjoying the shadows under the trees”
“practise had made Jack
silent as the shadows”
“each of them wore the remains…
of a black cap and ages ago they had stood in two demure rows and their voices had been the song of angels”
“he was happy and wore…
the damp darkness of the forest like his old clothes” (Jack)
“sunk in deep maternal bliss…
lay the largest sow of the lot”
“the great bladder of her belly…
was fringed with a row of piglets that slept or burrowed and squeaked”
“the wooden spears with fire-hardened…
points flew toward the chosen pig”
“one piglet, with a demented shriek…
rushed into the sea trailing Roger’s spear behind it”
