Benjamin Flashcards
He seldom talked…
and when he did it was usually to make some cynical remark. (ch1)
Without openly admitting it, he was…
devoted to Boxer. (ch1)
Old Benjamin…
seemed quite unchanged since the Rebellion. (ch3)
He did his work in the same slow obstinate way as he had done it in Jones’ time…
never shirking and never volunteering for extra work either. (ch3)
Benjamin could read as well as any pig, but…
never exercised his faculty. (ch3)
Windmill or no windmill, he said,…
life would go on as it had always gone - that is, badly. (ch5)
Slowly, and with an air…
almost of amusement. (ch8)
“Do you not see what they are doing?
In another moment they are going to pack blasting powder into that hole. (ch8)
It was the first time they had ever…
seen Benjamin excited. (ch9)
“Fools!….
do you not see what is written on the side of that van?” (ch9)
Only old Benjamin was…
much the same as ever. (ch 10)
For once Benjamin consented to break his rule…
and he read out to her what was written on the wall. (ch10)
