Napoleon
,
with
the
dogs
following
him
,
now
mounted
on
to
the
raised
portion
of
the
floor
where
Major
had
previously
stood
to
deliver
his
speech
.
He
announced
that
from
now
on
the
Sunday
-
morning
Meetings
would
come
to
an
end
.
They
were
unnecessary
,
he
said
,
and
wasted
time
.
In
future
all
questions
relating
to
the
working
of
the
farm
would
be
settled
by
a
special
committee
of
pigs
,
presided
over
by
himself
.
These
would
meet
in
private
and
afterwards
communicate
their
decisions
to
the
others
.
The
animals
would
still
assemble
on
Sunday
mornings
to
salute
the
flag
,
sing
‘
Beasts
of
England
’
,
and
receive
their
orders
for
the
week
;
but
there
would
be
no
more
debates
.
In
spite
of
the
shock
that
Snowball
’
s
expulsion
had
given
them
,
the
animals
were
dismayed
by
this
announcement
.
Several
of
them
would
have
protested
if
they
could
have
found
the
right
arguments
.
Even
Boxer
was
vaguely
troubled
.
He
set
his
ears
back
,
shook
his
forelock
several
times
,
and
tried
hard
to
marshal
his
thoughts
;
but
in
the
end
he
could
not
think
of
anything
to
say
.
Some
of
the
pigs
themselves
,
however
,
were
more
articulate
.
Four
young
porkers
in
the
front
row
uttered
shrill
squeals
of
disapproval
,
and
all
four
of
them
sprang
to
their
feet
and
began
speaking
at
once
.
But
suddenly
the
dogs
sitting
round
Napoleon
let
out
deep
,
menacing
growls
,
and
the
pigs
fell
silent
and
sat
down
again
.
Then
the
sheep
broke
out
into
a
tremendous
bleating
of
"
Four
legs
good
,
two
legs
bad
!
"
which
went
on
for
nearly
a
quarter
of
an
hour
and
put
an
end
to
any
chance
of
discussion
.
Afterwards
Squealer
was
sent
round
the
farm
to
explain
the
new
arrangement
to
the
others
.
"
Comrades
,
"
he
said
,
"
I
trust
that
every
animal
here
appreciates
the
sacrifice
that
Comrade
Napoleon
has
made
in
taking
this
extra
labour
upon
himself
.
Do
not
imagine
,
comrades
,
that
leadership
is
a
pleasure
!
On
the
contrary
,
it
is
a
deep
and
heavy
responsibility
.
No
one
believes
more
firmly
than
Comrade
Napoleon
that
all
animals
are
equal
.
He
would
be
only
too
happy
to
let
you
make
your
decisions
for
yourselves
.
But
sometimes
you
might
make
the
wrong
decisions
,
comrades
,
and
then
where
should
we
be
?
Suppose
you
had
decided
to
follow
Snowball
,
with
his
moonshine
of
windmills
—
Snowball
,
who
,
as
we
now
know
,
was
no
better
than
a
criminal
?
"
"
He
fought
bravely
at
the
Battle
of
the
Cowshed
,
"
said
somebody
.
"
Bravery
is
not
enough
,
"
said
Squealer
.
"
Loyalty
and
obedience
are
more
important
.
And
as
to
the
Battle
of
the
Cowshed
,
I
believe
the
time
will
come
when
we
shall
find
that
Snowball
’
s
part
in
it
was
much
exaggerated
.
Discipline
,
comrades
,
iron
discipline
!
That
is
the
watchword
for
today
.
One
false
step
,
and
our
enemies
would
be
upon
us
.
Surely
,
comrades
,
you
do
not
want
Jones
back
?
"
Once
again
this
argument
was
unanswerable
.
Certainly
the
animals
did
not
want
Jones
back
;
if
the
holding
of
debates
on
Sunday
mornings
was
liable
to
bring
him
back
,
then
the
debates
must
stop
.
Boxer
,
who
had
now
had
time
to
think
things
over
,
voiced
the
general
feeling
by
saying
:
"
If
Comrade
Napoleon
says
it
,
it
must
be
right
.
"
And
from
then
on
he
adopted
the
maxim
,
"
Napoleon
is
always
right
,
"
in
addition
to
his
private
motto
of
"
I
will
work
harder
.
"
By
this
time
the
weather
had
broken
and
the
spring
ploughing
had
begun
.
The
shed
where
Snowball
had
drawn
his
plans
of
the
windmill
had
been
shut
up
and
it
was
assumed
that
the
plans
had
been
rubbed
off
the
floor
.
Every
Sunday
morning
at
ten
o
’
clock
the
animals
assembled
in
the
big
barn
to
receive
their
orders
for
the
week
.
The
skull
of
old
Major
,
now
clean
of
flesh
,
had
been
disinterred
from
the
orchard
and
set
up
on
a
stump
at
the
foot
of
the
flagstaff
,
beside
the
gun
.
After
the
hoisting
of
the
flag
,
the
animals
were
required
to
file
past
the
skull
in
a
reverent
manner
before
entering
the
barn
.
Nowadays
they
did
not
sit
all
together
as
they
had
done
in
the
past
.
Napoleon
,
with
Squealer
and
another
pig
named
Minimus
,
who
had
a
remarkable
gift
for
composing
songs
and
poems
,
sat
on
the
front
of
the
raised
platform
,
with
the
nine
young
dogs
forming
a
semicircle
round
them
,
and
the
other
pigs
sitting
behind
.
The
rest
of
the
animals
sat
facing
them
in
the
main
body
of
the
barn
.
Napoleon
read
out
the
orders
for
the
week
in
a
gruff
soldierly
style
,
and
after
a
single
singing
of
‘
Beasts
of
England
’
,
all
the
animals
dispersed
.
On
the
third
Sunday
after
Snowball
’
s
expulsion
,
the
animals
were
somewhat
surprised
to
hear
Napoleon
announce
that
the
windmill
was
to
be
built
after
all
.
He
did
not
give
any
reason
for
having
changed
his
mind
,
but
merely
warned
the
animals
that
this
extra
task
would
mean
very
hard
work
,
it
might
even
be
necessary
to
reduce
their
rations
.
The
plans
,
however
,
had
all
been
prepared
,
down
to
the
last
detail
.
A
special
committee
of
pigs
had
been
at
work
upon
them
for
the
past
three
weeks
.
The
building
of
the
windmill
,
with
various
other
improvements
,
was
expected
to
take
two
years
.
That
evening
Squealer
explained
privately
to
the
other
animals
that
Napoleon
had
never
in
reality
been
opposed
to
the
windmill
.
On
the
contrary
,
it
was
he
who
had
advocated
it
in
the
beginning
,
and
the
plan
which
Snowball
had
drawn
on
the
floor
of
the
incubator
shed
had
actually
been
stolen
from
among
Napoleon
’
s
papers
.
