Major first stirred them to rebellion. They had imagined a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak. Instead now no one dared to speak his mind, and there were growling dogs roaming everywhere, and cruel killing of comrades.

Such were her thoughts, though she lacked the words to express them. Suddenly, she began to sing 'Beast of England'.
