At last the words of the chant floated up to them, across the basin of blackened wood and ashes.
"_Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Spill her claret._"
Yet as the words became audible, the procession reached the 1.________ part of the mountain, and in a minute or 2 the chant had died abroad. Piggy sniveled and Simon shushed him quickly as though he had spoken likewise loudly in church.
Jack, his face smeared with clays, reached the top starting time and hailed Ralph excitedly, with lifted spear.
"Look! Nosotros've killed a hog–we stole upwards on them–we got in a circle–"
Voices bankrupt in from the hunters.
"We got in a circle–"
"We 2.________ upwards–"
"The pig squealed–"
The twins stood with the squealer swinging between them, dropping black gouts on the rock. They seemed to share one broad, ecstatic grin. Jack had too many things to tell Ralph at one time. Instead, he danced a step or two, then remembered his dignity and stood still, grinning.
He noticed blood on his hands and grimaced distastefully, looked for something on which to clean them, then 3._______ them on his shorts and laughed.
Ralph spoke.
"You lot let the fire go out."
Jack checked, 4._________ irritated past this irrelevance but as well happy to let it worry him.
"We tin calorie-free the fire again. You lot should have been with united states, Ralph. We had a smashing time. The twins got knocked over–"
"Nosotros hit the pig–"
"–I fell on acme–"
"I cut the grunter's throat," said Jack, proudly, and notwithstanding twitched as he said it. "Tin can I borrow yours, Ralph, to make a nick in the hilt?"
The boys chattered and danced. The twins continued to grinning.
"There was lashings of blood," said Jack, laughing and 5.________, "yous should have seen it!"
"We'll get hunting every twenty-four hours–"
Ralph spoke again, hoarsely. He had not moved.
"You lot let the burn down exit."
This repetition fabricated Jack uneasy. He looked at the twins and and then back at Ralph.
"Nosotros had to have them in the hunt," he said, "or there wouldn't have been enough for a ring."
He flushed, 6.________ of a fault.
"The fire's only been out an hour or two. We tin light upward again–"
He noticed Ralph's scarred nakedness, and the sombre silence of all four of them. He sought, charitable in his happiness, to include them in the matter that had happened. His mind was crowded with memories; memories of the cognition that had come to them when they closed in on the struggling pig, knowledge that they had outwitted a living thing, imposed their will upon it, taken away its life like a long satisfying drink.
(Here the narrator makes a comment on the text..)
He spread his arms wide.
"You should take seen the blood!"
The hunters were more than silent now, just at this they buzzed over again. Ralph 7.________ back his hair. One arm pointed at the empty horizon. His voice was loud and savage, and struck them into silence.
"In that location was a ship."
Jack, faced at once with too many awful implications, ducked abroad from them. He laid a hand on the pig and 8.________ his pocketknife. Ralph brought his arm down, fist clenched, and his voice shook.
"There was a ship. Out there. You said you'd go along the burn down going and y'all allow information technology out!" He took a step toward Jack, who turned and nine.______ him.
"They might accept seen us. We might have gone abode–"
This was too bitter for Piggy, who forgot his timidity in the desperation of his loss. He began to cry out, shrilly:
"Y'all and your claret, Jack Merridew! You lot and your hunting! Nosotros might accept gone home–"
Ralph pushed Piggy to one side.
"I was main, and you were going to exercise what I said. You talk. But you can't even build huts–and then y'all get off hunting and let out the fire–"
He turned away, silent for a moment. Then his vocalisation came again on a x.________ of feeling.
"There was a ship–"
Ane of the smaller hunters began to wail. The dismal truth was filtering through to everybody. Jack went very cherry-red equally he hacked and pulled at the squealer.
"The job was too much. Nosotros needed everyone."
Ralph turned.
"Yous could have had everyone when the 11._________ were finished. But you had to hunt–"
"We needed meat."
Jack stood up as he said this, the bloodied knife in his manus. The ii boys faced each other. There was the bright world of hunting, tactics, violent exhilaration, skill; and at that place was the globe of longing and baffled commonsense. Jack transferred the knife to his left hand and smudged blood over his forehead equally he pushed down the plastered hair.
Piggy began again.
"You didn't 12._______ to take let that fire out. You lot said you'd keep the fume going–"
This from Piggy, and the wails of agreement from some of the hunters, collection Jack to violence. The bolting wait came into his blue eyes. He took a step, and able at terminal to hit someone, stuck his 13.________into Piggy's stomach. Piggy saturday downwardly with a grunt. Jack stood over him.
His voice was barbarous with humiliation.
"Y'all would, would yous? Fatty!"
Ralph fabricated a step forward and Jack smacked Piggy's caput. Piggy's spectacles flew off and tinkled on the rocks. Piggy cried out in terror:
"My specs!"
He went 14._________ and feeling over the rocks only Simon, who got there first, institute them for him. Passions beat out about Simon on the mountain-acme with awful wings.
"One side's broken."
Piggy grabbed and put on the glasses. He looked malevolently at Jack.
"I got to have them specs. At present I only got ane eye. Jus' you look–"
Jack made a move toward Piggy who scrambled away till a great rock lay between them.
He thrust his head over the top and 15.________ at Jack through his one flashing drinking glass.
"Now I only got 1 eye. Just y'all expect–"
Jack mimicked the whine and scramble.
"Jus' you lot look–yah!"
Piggy and the parody were then funny that the hunters began to laugh. Jack felt encouraged. He went on scrambling and the laughter rose to a gale of hysteria. Unwillingly Ralph felt his lips twitch; he was aroused with himself for giving way…..
