Capture (Part Two, Chapter Ten)

I felt completely content after resting after the many days that I spent at the office. I had really come to enjoy my meetings with Julia. We were standing looking out the window at a prole woman singing as she did laundry. Although it felt so perfect and so right standing there, I knew that it could not last for long. Soon we would be caught, and we may never see each other again. But we had to enjoy every moment of life until then. Just at that moment when we were looking out the window, a voice from a telescreen spoke behind us. We had been caught. Soon the room was filled with police, and then Mr. Charrington entered. I realized he had been a member of the Thoughtpolice all along. The guards smashed the little snow globe to pieces. I realized then how small and futile our rebellion had been against such a powerful adversary as the Party. All I could do was hope that I would not lose Julia, and that she would be all right.
