The Parting (Ch 21 / Q5)

This chapter is very realistic because it is true that if a family moves away from an estate no one in the community is likely to have the money to run it so everyone there suffers. In this chapter the unthinkable happens. The Gordon family is moving away and all the animals are to be sold. This means that the people that work there have to find new jobs and the horses are going to separated from there friends. Beauty and Ginger are sold to the Squire's friend the Earl of W__ and Merrylegs is given to the Vicar on the condition that he is never to be sold so he is well off. It would be wonderful if Beauty and Ginger find masters that contribute to there growing personalities.
