1 He was closeted there for hours at a time.
2 They were unnecessary, he said, and wasted time.
3 By the time he had finished speaking, there was no doubt as to which way the vote would go.
4 But at this moment the three cows, who had seemed uneasy for some time past, set up a loud lowing.
5 One of them all but closed his jaws on Snowball's tail, but Snowball whisked it free just in time.
6 In the end they finished the harvest in two days' less time than it had usually taken Jones and his men.
7 When asked whether he was not happier now that Jones was gone, he would say only "Donkeys live a long time."

15 I have had a long life, I have had much time for thought as I lay alone in my stall, and I think I may say that I understand the nature of life on this earth as well as any animal now living.
16 When time passed and the animals had evidently not starved to death, Frederick and Pilkington changed their tune and began to talk of the terrible wickedness that now flourished on Animal Farm.
17 Most of this time Mr. Jones had spent sitting in the taproom of the Red Lion at Willingdon, complaining to anyone who would listen of the monstrous injustice he had suffered in being turned out of his property by a pack of good-for-nothing animals.
