← Each was sold at a year old−you will never see one of them again. 🔊
← All were agreed that no animal must ever live there. The animals had their breakfast, and then Snowball and Napoleon called them together again. 🔊
← But once again the men, with their sticks and their hobnailed boots, were too strong for them; and suddenly, at a squeal from Snowball, which was the signal for retreat, all the animals turned and fled through the gateway into the yard. 🔊
← None of the animals ever mentioned Mollie again. 🔊
← At this Snowball sprang to his feet, and shouting down the sheep, who had begun bleating again, broke into a passionate appeal in favour of the windmill. 🔊
← Suddenly he slipped and it seemed certain that they had him. Then he was up again, running faster than ever, then the dogs were gaining on him again. 🔊
← Again the animals seemed to remember that a resolution against this had been passed in the early days, and again Squealer was able to convince them that this was not the case. 🔊
← Once again it was being put about that all the animals were dying of famine and disease, and that they were continually fighting among themselves and had resorted to cannibalism and infanticide. 🔊
← One Sunday morning Squealer announced that the hens, who had just come in to lay again, must surrender their eggs. 🔊
← Once again some of the animals heard this with a certain bewilderment, but Squealer was soon able to convince them that their memories had been at fault. 🔊
← When they got up again, a huge cloud of black smoke was hanging where the windmill had been. 🔊
← It was a savage, bitter battle. The men fired again and again, and, when the animals got to close quarters, lashed out with their sticks and their heavy boots. 🔊
← And now−thanks to the leadership of Comrade Napoleon−we have won every inch of it back again!" 🔊
← But when the animals saw the green flag flying, and heard the gun firing again−seven times it was fired in all−and heard the speech that Napoleon made, congratulating them on their conduct, it did seem to them after all that they had won a great victory. 🔊
← Once again all rations were reduced, except those of the pigs and the dogs. A too rigid equality in rations, Squealer explained, would have been contrary to the principles of Animalism. 🔊
← The farm had had a fairly successful year, but was still short of money. There were the bricks, sand, and lime for the schoolroom to be purchased, and it would also be necessary to begin saving up again for the machinery for the windmill. 🔊
← Boxer was never seen again. Three days later it was announced that he had died in the hospital at Willingdon, in spite of receiving every attention a horse could have. 🔊
← Startled, the animals stopped in their tracks. It was Clover's voice. She neighed again, and all the animals broke into a gallop and rushed into the yard. 🔊
← This bon mot set the table in a roar; and Mr. Pilkington once again congratulated the pigs on the low rations, the long working hours, and the general absence of pampering which he had observed on Animal Farm. 🔊
← The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which. 🔊
