1 It was always the pigs who put forward the resolutions.
2 To tell you the truth, I had been looking forward to my retirement.
3 Now that Snowball was out of the way, the plan could go forward without his interference.
4 Here the work of the coming week was planned out and resolutions were put forward and debated.
5 Then a goose came forward and confessed to having secreted six ears of corn during the last year's harvest and eaten them in the night.
6 These scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old Major first stirred them to rebellion.
7 Immediately the dogs bounded forward, seized four of the pigs by the ear and dragged them, squealing with pain and terror, to Napoleon's feet.
8 If he made a good recovery, he might expect to live another three years, and he looked forward to the peaceful days that he would spend in the corner of the big pasture.
9 In the middle of the summer the animals were alarmed to hear that three hens had come forward and confessed that, inspired by Snowball, they had entered into a plot to murder Napoleon.
10 Muriel, Benjamin, and all the sheep, with Snowball at the head of them, rushed forward and prodded and butted the men from every side, while Benjamin turned around and lashed at them with his small hoofs.
11 The three hens who had been the ringleaders in the attempted rebellion over the eggs now came forward and stated that Snowball had appeared to them in a dream and incited them to disobey Napoleon's orders.
