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
.
And
now
,
he
said
finally
,
he
would
ask
the
company
to
rise
to
their
feet
and
make
certain
that
their
glasses
were
full
.
"
Gentlemen
,
"
concluded
Mr
.
Pilkington
,
"
gentlemen
,
I
give
you
a
toast
:
To
the
prosperity
of
Animal
Farm
!
"
There
was
enthusiastic
cheering
and
stamping
of
feet
.
Napoleon
was
so
gratified
that
he
left
his
place
and
came
round
the
table
to
clink
his
mug
against
Mr
.
Pilkington
’
s
before
emptying
it
.
When
the
cheering
had
died
down
,
Napoleon
,
who
had
remained
on
his
feet
,
intimated
that
he
too
had
a
few
words
to
say
.
Like
all
of
Napoleon
’
s
speeches
,
it
was
short
and
to
the
point
.
He
too
,
he
said
,
was
happy
that
the
period
of
misunderstanding
was
at
an
end
.
For
a
long
time
there
had
been
rumours
—
circulated
,
he
had
reason
to
think
,
by
some
malignant
enemy
—
that
there
was
something
subversive
and
even
revolutionary
in
the
outlook
of
himself
and
his
colleagues
.
They
had
been
credited
with
attempting
to
stir
up
rebellion
among
the
animals
on
neighbouring
farms
.
Nothing
could
be
further
from
the
truth
!
Their
sole
wish
,
now
and
in
the
past
,
was
to
live
at
peace
and
in
normal
business
relations
with
their
neighbours
.
This
farm
which
he
had
the
honour
to
control
,
he
added
,
was
a
co
-
operative
enterprise
.
The
title
-
deeds
,
which
were
in
his
own
possession
,
were
owned
by
the
pigs
jointly
.
He
did
not
believe
,
he
said
,
that
any
of
the
old
suspicions
still
lingered
,
but
certain
changes
had
been
made
recently
in
the
routine
of
the
farm
which
should
have
the
effect
of
promoting
confidence
still
further
.
Hitherto
the
animals
on
the
farm
had
had
a
rather
foolish
custom
of
addressing
one
another
as
"
Comrade
.
"
This
was
to
be
suppressed
.
There
had
also
been
a
very
strange
custom
,
whose
origin
was
unknown
,
of
marching
every
Sunday
morning
past
a
boar
’
s
skull
which
was
nailed
to
a
post
in
the
garden
.
This
,
too
,
would
be
suppressed
,
and
the
skull
had
already
been
buried
.
His
visitors
might
have
observed
,
too
,
the
green
flag
which
flew
from
the
masthead
.
If
so
,
they
would
perhaps
have
noted
that
the
white
hoof
and
horn
with
which
it
had
previously
been
marked
had
now
been
removed
.
It
would
be
a
plain
green
flag
from
now
onwards
.
He
had
only
one
criticism
,
he
said
,
to
make
of
Mr
.
Pilkington
’
s
excellent
and
neighbourly
speech
.
Mr
.
Pilkington
had
referred
throughout
to
"
Animal
Farm
.
"
He
could
not
of
course
know
—
for
he
,
Napoleon
,
was
only
now
for
the
first
time
announcing
it
—
that
the
name
"
Animal
Farm
"
had
been
abolished
.
Henceforward
the
farm
was
to
be
known
as
"
The
Manor
Farm
"
—
which
,
he
believed
,
was
its
correct
and
original
name
.
"
Gentlemen
,
"
concluded
Napoleon
,
"
I
will
give
you
the
same
toast
as
before
,
but
in
a
different
form
.
Fill
your
glasses
to
the
brim
.
Gentlemen
,
here
is
my
toast
:
To
the
prosperity
of
The
Manor
Farm
!
"
There
was
the
same
hearty
cheering
as
before
,
and
the
mugs
were
emptied
to
the
dregs
.
But
as
the
animals
outside
gazed
at
the
scene
,
it
seemed
to
them
that
some
strange
thing
was
happening
.
What
was
it
that
had
altered
in
the
faces
of
the
pigs
?
Clover
’
s
old
dim
eyes
flitted
from
one
face
to
another
.
Some
of
them
had
five
chins
,
some
had
four
,
some
had
three
.
But
what
was
it
that
seemed
to
be
melting
and
changing
?
Then
,
the
applause
having
come
to
an
end
,
the
company
took
up
their
cards
and
continued
the
game
that
had
been
interrupted
,
and
the
animals
crept
silently
away
.
But
they
had
not
gone
twenty
yards
when
they
stopped
short
.
An
uproar
of
voices
was
coming
from
the
farmhouse
.
They
rushed
back
and
looked
through
the
window
again
.
