evening, August 1984, in the room above Mr Charrington's shop
Winston and Julia are arrested
An iron voice behind them says, 'You are the dead.' Julia whispers that it was behind the picture, and the picture falls to the floor, uncovering a telescreen. The voice orders them to stand back to back with their hands behind their heads. The house is surrounded, and men in black uniforms burst in through the window and the stairs. A guard smashes Julia in the solar plexus, and she is carried out like a sack. Winston stands still as a glass paperweight is picked up and smashed on the hearth-stone. The fragment of coral rolls across the mat.
