| Current Search - handful in Lord of the Flies |
1 Ralph took the conch from his hands.
2 Piggy clasped his hands in apprehension.
3 With dreary obedience the choir raised their hands.
4 Piggy fell against a rock and clutched it with both hands.
5 Roger gathered a handful of stones and began to throw them.
6 Ralph stood away from the pile and put the glasses into Piggy's groping hands.
7 Piggy paused for breath and stroked the glistening thing that lay in Ralph's hands.
8 Ralph too was fighting to get near, to get a handful of that brown, vulnerable flesh.
9 He bent down, took up a double handful of lukewarm water and rubbed the mess from his face.
10 Piggy, partly recovered, pointed to the conch in Ralph's hands, and Jack and Simon fell silent.
11 Now both his hands were clenched over his forehead so that the fair hair was kept out of his eyes.
12 Ralph pushed both hands through his hair and looked at the little boy in mixed amusement and exasperation.
13 Jack held out his hands for the conch and stood up, holding the delicate thing carefully in his sooty hands.
14 Shorts, shirts, and different garments they carried in their hands; but each boy wore a square black cap with a silver badge on it.
15 The small boy held out his hands for the conch and the assembly shouted with laughter; at once he snatched back his hands and started to cry.
16 He noticed blood on his hands and grimaced distastefully, looked for something on which to clean them, then wiped them on his shorts and laughed.
17 Then, amid the roar of bees in the afternoon sunlight, Simon found for them the fruit they could not reach, pulled off the choicest from up in the foliage, passed them back down to the endless, outstretched hands.
