With a sudden alacrity, Morris proffered his willingness. Clerks
were brought in, the discharge was executed, and there was Joseph
a free man once more.
'And now,' said Michael, 'hear what I propose to do. Here, John
and Morris, is the leather business made over to the pair of you
in partnership. I have valued it at the lowest possible figure,
Pogram and Jarris's. And here is a cheque for the balance of your
fortune. Now, you see, Morris, you start fresh from the
commercial academy; and, as you said yourself the leather
business was looking up, I suppose you'll probably marry before

Inspector Weymouth nodded affirmatively, and Smith glanced at his watch.

for the freedom of your fancy wardrobe. There is time to spend an hour

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Animal Farm by George Orwell: spite of the fact that his tushes had never been cut. Before long the
other animals began to arrive and make themselves comfortable after their
different fashions. First came the three dogs, Bluebell, Jessie, and
Pincher, and then the pigs, who settled down in the straw immediately in
front of the platform. The hens perched themselves on the window-sills,
the pigeons fluttered up to the rafters, the sheep and cows lay down
behind the pigs and began to chew the cud. The two cart-horses, Boxer and
Clover, came in together, walking very slowly and setting down their vast
hairy hoofs with great care lest there should be some small animal
concealed in the straw. Clover was a stout motherly mare approaching
middle life, who had never quite got her figure back after her fourth foal.
