Old Benjamin, the donkey, seemed quite unchanged since the Rebellion. He did his work in the same slow obstinate way as he had done it in Jones's time, never shirking and never volunteering for extra work either.

None of you has ever seen a dead donkey," and the others had to be content with this cryptic answer.
