Ralph
turned
to
the
chief
's
seat
.
They
had
never
had
an
assembly
as
late
before
.
That
was
why
the
place
looked
so
different
.
Normally
the
underside
of
the
green
roof
was
lit
by
a
tangle
of
golden
reflections
,
and
their
faces
were
lit
upside
down
--
like
,
thought
Ralph
,
when
you
hold
an
electric
torch
in
your
hands
.
But
now
the
sun
was
slanting
in
at
one
side
,
so
that
the
shadows
were
where
they
ought
to
be
.
Again
he
fell
into
that
strange
mood
of
speculation
that
was
so
foreign
to
him
.
If
faces
were
different
when
lit
from
above
or
below
--
what
was
a
face
?
What
was
anything
?
Ralph
moved
impatiently
.
The
trouble
was
,
if
you
were
a
chief
you
had
to
think
,
you
had
to
be
wise
.
And
then
the
occasion
slipped
by
so
that
you
had
to
grab
at
a
decision
.
This
made
you
think
;
because
thought
was
a
valuable
thing
,
that
got
results
...
.
Only
,
decided
Ralph
as
he
faced
the
chief
's
seat
,
I
ca
n't
think
.
Not
like
Piggy
.
Once
more
that
evening
Ralph
had
to
adjust
his
values
.
Piggy
could
think
.
He
could
go
step
by
step
inside
that
fat
head
of
his
,
only
Piggy
was
no
chief
.
But
Piggy
,
for
all
his
ludicrous
body
,
had
brains
.
Ralph
was
a
specialist
in
thought
now
,
and
could
recognize
thought
in
another
.
The
sun
in
his
eyes
reminded
him
how
time
was
passing
,
so
he
took
the
conch
down
from
the
tree
and
examined
the
surface
.
Exposure
to
the
air
had
bleached
the
yellow
and
pink
to
near-white
,
and
transparency
.
Ralph
felt
a
kind
of
affectionate
reverence
for
the
conch
,
even
though
he
had
fished
the
thing
out
of
the
lagoon
himself
.
He
faced
the
place
of
assembly
and
put
the
conch
to
his
lips
.
The
others
were
waiting
for
this
and
came
straight
away
.
Those
who
were
aware
that
a
ship
had
passed
the
island
while
the
fire
was
out
were
subdued
by
the
thought
of
Ralph
's
anger
;
while
those
,
including
the
littluns
who
did
not
know
,
were
impressed
by
the
general
air
of
solemnity
.
The
place
of
assembly
filled
quickly
;
Jack
,
Simon
,
Maurice
,
most
of
the
hunters
,
on
Ralph
's
right
;
the
rest
on
the
left
,
under
the
sun
.
Piggy
came
and
stood
outside
the
triangle
.
This
indicated
that
he
wished
to
listen
,
but
would
not
speak
;
and
Piggy
intended
it
as
a
gesture
of
disapproval
.
"
The
thing
is
:
we
need
an
assembly
.
"
No
one
said
anything
but
the
faces
turned
to
Ralph
were
intent
.
He
flourished
the
conch
.
He
had
learnt
as
a
practical
business
that
fundamental
statements
like
this
had
to
be
said
at
least
twice
,
before
everyone
understood
them
.
One
had
to
sit
,
attracting
all
eyes
to
the
conch
,
and
drop
words
like
heavy
round
stones
among
the
little
groups
that
crouched
or
squatted
.
He
was
searching
his
mind
for
simple
words
so
that
even
the
littluns
would
understand
what
the
assembly
was
about
.
Later
perhaps
,
practiced
debaters
--
Jack
,
Maurice
,
Piggy
--
would
use
their
whole
art
to
twist
the
meeting
:
but
now
at
the
beginning
the
subject
of
the
debate
must
be
laid
out
clearly
.
"
We
need
an
assembly
.
Not
for
fun
.
Not
for
laughing
and
falling
off
the
log
"
--
the
group
of
littluns
on
the
twister
giggled
and
looked
at
each
other
--
"
not
for
making
jokes
,
or
for
"
--
he
lifted
the
conch
in
an
effort
to
find
the
compelling
word
--
"
for
cleverness
.
Not
for
these
things
.
But
to
put
things
straight
.
"
