The
four
young
pigs
who
had
protested
when
Napoleon
abolished
the
Meetings
raised
their
voices
timidly
,
but
they
were
promptly
silenced
by
a
tremendous
growling
from
the
dogs
.
Then
,
as
usual
,
the
sheep
broke
into
"
Four
legs
good
,
two
legs
bad
!
"
and
the
momentary
awkwardness
was
smoothed
over
.
Finally
Napoleon
raised
his
trotter
for
silence
and
announced
that
he
had
already
made
all
the
arrangements
.
There
would
be
no
need
for
any
of
the
animals
to
come
in
contact
with
human
beings
,
which
would
clearly
be
most
undesirable
.
He
intended
to
take
the
whole
burden
upon
his
own
shoulders
.
A
Mr
.
Whymper
,
a
solicitor
living
in
Willingdon
,
had
agreed
to
act
as
intermediary
between
Animal
Farm
and
the
outside
world
,
and
would
visit
the
farm
every
Monday
morning
to
receive
his
instructions
.
Napoleon
ended
his
speech
with
his
usual
cry
of
"
Long
live
Animal
Farm
!
"
and
after
the
singing
of
‘
Beasts
of
England
’
the
animals
were
dismissed
.
Afterwards
Squealer
made
a
round
of
the
farm
and
set
the
animals
’
minds
at
rest
.
He
assured
them
that
the
resolution
against
engaging
in
trade
and
using
money
had
never
been
passed
,
or
even
suggested
.
It
was
pure
imagination
,
probably
traceable
in
the
beginning
to
lies
circulated
by
Snowball
.
A
few
animals
still
felt
faintly
doubtful
,
but
Squealer
asked
them
shrewdly
,
"
Are
you
certain
that
this
is
not
something
that
you
have
dreamed
,
comrades
?
Have
you
any
record
of
such
a
resolution
?
Is
it
written
down
anywhere
?
"
And
since
it
was
certainly
true
that
nothing
of
the
kind
existed
in
writing
,
the
animals
were
satisfied
that
they
had
been
mistaken
.
Every
Monday
Mr
.
Whymper
visited
the
farm
as
had
been
arranged
.
He
was
a
sly
-
looking
little
man
with
side
whiskers
,
a
solicitor
in
a
very
small
way
of
business
,
but
sharp
enough
to
have
realised
earlier
than
anyone
else
that
Animal
Farm
would
need
a
broker
and
that
the
commissions
would
be
worth
having
.
The
animals
watched
his
coming
and
going
with
a
kind
of
dread
,
and
avoided
him
as
much
as
possible
.
Nevertheless
,
the
sight
of
Napoleon
,
on
all
fours
,
delivering
orders
to
Whymper
,
who
stood
on
two
legs
,
roused
their
pride
and
partly
reconciled
them
to
the
new
arrangement
.
Their
relations
with
the
human
race
were
now
not
quite
the
same
as
they
had
been
before
.
The
human
beings
did
not
hate
Animal
Farm
any
less
now
that
it
was
prospering
;
indeed
,
they
hated
it
more
than
ever
.
Every
human
being
held
it
as
an
article
of
faith
that
the
farm
would
go
bankrupt
sooner
or
later
,
and
,
above
all
,
that
the
windmill
would
be
a
failure
.
They
would
meet
in
the
public
-
houses
and
prove
to
one
another
by
means
of
diagrams
that
the
windmill
was
bound
to
fall
down
,
or
that
if
it
did
stand
up
,
then
that
it
would
never
work
.
And
yet
,
against
their
will
,
they
had
developed
a
certain
respect
for
the
efficiency
with
which
the
animals
were
managing
their
own
affairs
.
One
symptom
of
this
was
that
they
had
begun
to
call
Animal
Farm
by
its
proper
name
and
ceased
to
pretend
that
it
was
called
the
Manor
Farm
.
They
had
also
dropped
their
championship
of
Jones
,
who
had
given
up
hope
of
getting
his
farm
back
and
gone
to
live
in
another
part
of
the
county
.
Except
through
Whymper
,
there
was
as
yet
no
contact
between
Animal
Farm
and
the
outside
world
,
but
there
were
constant
rumours
that
Napoleon
was
about
to
enter
into
a
definite
business
agreement
either
with
Mr
.
Pilkington
of
Foxwood
or
with
Mr
.
Frederick
of
Pinchfield
—
but
never
,
it
was
noticed
,
with
both
simultaneously
.
It
was
about
this
time
that
the
pigs
suddenly
moved
into
the
farmhouse
and
took
up
their
residence
there
.
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
.
It
was
absolutely
necessary
,
he
said
,
that
the
pigs
,
who
were
the
brains
of
the
farm
,
should
have
a
quiet
place
to
work
in
.
It
was
also
more
suited
to
the
dignity
of
the
Leader
(
for
of
late
he
had
taken
to
speaking
of
Napoleon
under
the
title
of
"
Leader
"
)
to
live
in
a
house
than
in
a
mere
sty
.
Nevertheless
,
some
of
the
animals
were
disturbed
when
they
heard
that
the
pigs
not
only
took
their
meals
in
the
kitchen
and
used
the
drawing
-
room
as
a
recreation
room
,
but
also
slept
in
the
beds
.
Boxer
passed
it
off
as
usual
with
"
Napoleon
is
always
right
!
"
,
but
Clover
,
who
thought
she
remembered
a
definite
ruling
against
beds
,
went
to
the
end
of
the
barn
and
tried
to
puzzle
out
the
Seven
Commandments
which
were
inscribed
there
.
Finding
herself
unable
to
read
more
than
individual
letters
,
she
fetched
Muriel
.
"
Muriel
,
"
she
said
,
"
read
me
the
Fourth
Commandment
.
Does
it
not
say
something
about
never
sleeping
in
a
bed
?
"
With
some
difficulty
Muriel
spelt
it
out
.
"
It
says
,
‘
No
animal
shall
sleep
in
a
bed
with
sheets
,
"
’
she
announced
finally
.
Curiously
enough
,
Clover
had
not
remembered
that
the
Fourth
Commandment
mentioned
sheets
;
but
as
it
was
there
on
the
wall
,
it
must
have
done
so
.
And
Squealer
,
who
happened
to
be
passing
at
this
moment
,
attended
by
two
or
three
dogs
,
was
able
to
put
the
whole
matter
in
its
proper
perspective
.
