2 Squealer was sent to make the necessary explanations to the others.
3 Afterwards Squealer was sent round the farm to explain the new arrangement to the others.
4 All relations with Foxwood had been broken off; insulting messages had been sent to Pilkington.
5 Napoleon sent for pots of black and white paint and led the way down to the five-barred gate that gave on to the main road.
6 After a little thought, the pigs sent for buckets and milked the cows fairly successfully, their trotters being well adapted to this task.
7 But at this moment the four pigeons, who had been sent out on the day before, returned, one of them bearing a scrap of paper from Pilkington.
8 In addition, four pigeons were sent to Foxwood with a conciliatory message, which it was hoped might re-establish good relations with Pilkington.
9 After this they went back to the farm buildings, where Snowball and Napoleon sent for a ladder which they caused to be set against the end wall of the big barn.
10 The pigs had sent out a large bottle of pink medicine which they had found in the medicine chest in the bathroom, and Clover administered it to Boxer twice a day after meals.

12 It had not been possible, he said, to bring back their lamented comrade's remains for interment on the farm, but he had ordered a large wreath to be made from the laurels in the farmhouse garden and sent down to be placed on Boxer's grave.
