Context
“There were shoutings, bangings on the table, sharp suspicious glances, furious denials. The source of the trouble appeared to be that Napoleon and Mr Pilkington had each played an ace of spades simultaneously.
Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again: but already it was impossible to say which was which.
November 1943—February 1944 The End Appendix I Orwell's Proposed Preface to Animal Farm Space was allowed in the first edition of Animal Farm for a preface by Orwell, as the pagination of the author's proof indicates.” source
