1 Starvation seemed to stare them in the face.
2 Boxer's face did not reappear at the window.
3 No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs.
4 The rest of the animals sat facing them in the main body of the barn.
5 No one noticed the wondering faces of the animals that gazed in at the window.
6 It was not for this that they had built the windmill and faced the bullets of Jones's gun.
7 Back in the yard Boxer was pawing with his hoof at the stable-lad who lay face down in the mud, trying to turn him over.
8 But a moment later his face disappeared from the window and there was the sound of a tremendous drumming of hoofs inside the van.
9 The pigeons swirled into the air, and all the animals, except Napoleon, flung themselves flat on their bellies and hid their faces.
10 Whymper, his face deadly pale, came racing up the path on his bicycle, flung it down in the yard and rushed straight into the farmhouse.
11 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.
12 They worked diligently hardly raising their faces from the ground, and not knowing whether to be more frightened of the pigs or of the human visitors.
13 The animals could not face the terrible explosions and the stinging pellets, and in spite of the efforts of Napoleon and Boxer to rally them, they were soon driven back.
14 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.
