| Current Search - shell in Lord of the Flies |
1 That's what this shell's called.
2 Ralph took the shell away from his lips.
3 The palm sapling, bending, pushed the shell across the weeds.
4 Ralph took the shell from Piggy and a little water ran down his arm.
5 Ralph grasped the idea and hit the shell with air from his diaphragm.
6 He lifted the shell on his knees and looked round the sun-slashed faces.
7 In color the shell was deep cream, touched here and there with fading pink.
8 Doubtfully, Ralph laid the small end of the shell against his mouth and blew.
9 Then Piggy was standing cradling the great cream shell and the shouting died down.
10 Ralph wiped the salt water off his lips and tried again, but the shell remained silent.
11 Now the shell was no longer a thing seen but not to be touched, Ralph too became excited.
12 Ralph pursed his lips and squirted air into the shell, which emitted a low, farting noise.
13 What he saw of the fair-haired boy with the creamy shell on his knees did not seem to satisfy him.
14 Ralph lifted the cream and pink shell to his knees and a sudden breeze scattered light over the platform.
15 Ralph used one hand as a fulcrum and pressed down with the other till the shell rose, dripping, and Piggy could make a grab.
16 The shell was interesting and pretty and a worthy plaything; but the vivid phantoms of his day-dream still interposed between him and Piggy, who in this context was an irrelevance.
17 Between the point, worn away into a little hole, and the pink lips of the mouth, lay eighteen inches of shell with a slight spiral twist and covered with a delicate, embossed pattern.
