Luizangel Walle, Jacob Shelton Immured in these tangles, at perhaps their most difficult moment, Ralph turned with shining eyes to the others (Pg. 19) He was gesticulating, searching for a formula (Pg. 139). Jack Stood there, streaming with sweat, streaked with brown earth, stained by all the vicissitudes of a day’s hunting (Pg. 40). The dismal truth was filtering through to everybody (Pg. 59). Ralph used one hand as a fulcrum and pressed down with the other hand until the shell rose, dripping, and Piggy could make a grab.

Presently the creepers festooned the trees less frequently and there was a scatter of pearly light from the sky down to the trees (Pg. 130).
