1 Forward in the name of the Rebellion.
2 This was to be the name of the farm from now onwards.
3 Mollie refused to learn any but the six letters which spelt her own name.
4 In the end, it was named the Battle of the Cowshed, since that was where the ambush had been sprung.
5 Henceforward the farm was to be known as "The Manor Farm"--which, he believed, was its correct and original name.
6 Pre-eminent among the pigs were two young boars named Snowball and Napoleon, whom Mr. Jones was breeding up for sale.
7 These three had elaborated old Major's teachings into a complete system of thought, to which they gave the name of Animalism.
8 Its owner was a Mr. Frederick, a tough, shrewd man, perpetually involved in lawsuits and with a name for driving hard bargains.
9 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.
10 The best known among them was a small fat pig named Squealer, with very round cheeks, twinkling eyes, nimble movements, and a shrill voice.
11 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.
12 The van had previously been the property of the knacker, and had been bought by the veterinary surgeon, who had not yet painted the old name out.
13 Four dogs guarded his bed at night, one at each corner, and a young pig named Pinkeye was given the task of tasting all his food before he ate it, lest it should be poisoned.
14 One of them, which was named Foxwood, was a large, neglected, old-fashioned farm, much overgrown by woodland, with all its pastures worn out and its hedges in a disgraceful condition.
15 Napoleon himself, attended by his dogs and his cockerel, came down to inspect the completed work; he personally congratulated the animals on their achievement, and announced that the mill would be named Napoleon Mill.
16 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.
