Mollie Leaves

Entry by Clover

I approached Mollie yesterday about a very disturbing matter.I had seen her looking over the hedge that divides Animal Farm from Fox-wood. One of Pilkingtons men was standing there too, and I was almost 100 % sure I saw him stroking her nose and talking to her, but, of course, I was quite a ways off! I asked her about it and she adamantly denied all my questions. I told her to look in my face and say it wasn't true, but she wasn't able to, and instead turned and galloped away.
After watching her fleeing form, I went to her stall and turned over the straw. Underneath the hay lay a small pile of sugar lumps and many different colorful ribbons!
