1 That evening loud laughter and bursts of singing came from the farmhouse.
2 In the evenings he would admit privately to Clover that the hoof troubled him a great deal.
3 In the evenings she lay in his stall and talked to him, while Benjamin kept the flies off him.
4 Late one evening in the summer, a sudden rumour ran round the farm that something had happened to Boxer.
5 In the evening he returned to the farmhouse himself, but, as it was warm weather, told the sheep to stay where they were.
6 That evening Squealer explained privately to the other animals that Napoleon had never in reality been opposed to the windmill.
7 She would vanish for hours on end, and then reappear at meal-times, or in the evening after work was over, as though nothing had happened.
8 In the evening Squealer called them together, and with an alarmed expression on his face told them that he had some serious news to report.
9 Here, in the evenings, they studied blacksmithing, carpentering, and other necessary arts from books which they had brought out of the farmhouse.
10 So the animals trooped down to the hayfield to begin the harvest, and when they came back in the evening it was noticed that the milk had disappeared.
11 By the evening, however, Napoleon appeared to be somewhat better, and the following morning Squealer was able to tell them that he was well on the way to recovery.
12 When Mr. Jones got back he immediately went to sleep on the drawing-room sofa with the News of the World over his face, so that when evening came, the animals were still unfed.
13 Muriel, the goat, could read somewhat better than the dogs, and sometimes used to read to the others in the evenings from scraps of newspaper which she found on the rubbish heap.
14 By the evening of that day Napoleon was back at work, and on the next day it was learned that he had instructed Whymper to purchase in Willingdon some booklets on brewing and distilling.
15 It was just after the sheep had returned, on a pleasant evening when the animals had finished work and were making their way back to the farm buildings, that the terrified neighing of a horse sounded from the yard.
16 He had flogged an old horse to death, he starved his cows, he had killed a dog by throwing it into the furnace, he amused himself in the evenings by making cocks fight with splinters of razor-blade tied to their spurs.
