A Flicker of Hope (Part Two, Chapter Six)

Finally, my long held desire had been appeased. As I was walking through a corridor in the Ministry of Truth, I was approached by O'Brien, who said to me that he would give me a copy of the Eleventh Edition of the Newspeak dictionary at his house. I knew that he was part of the rebellion, part of the Brotherhood, part of the small group of sane people left in the world now for sure. I was at first dumbfounded at his boldness in talking to me directly in front of a telescreen, and amazed that he even decided to talk to me in the first place. Later, when I had time to organize my thoughts, I realized that I had finally reached the outer edges of the fight against the Party. But I knew now for sure that the next step in my life would be my capture, imprisonment, and torture in the Ministry of Love. But I have excepted this, and I care only that the Party should be destroyed, even if it means sacrificing my body.
