Part one Chapter five

I was in the canteen and my comrade Syme , a Newspeak specialist approached. He asked if I had any razors. I lied and told him no, even though I had two unused. He then started talking to me about his work in the 11th edition of the Newspeak Dictionary. He told me what I already knew about how the range of vocabulary is shrinking and how there will only be a handful of words by the year 2050. I think he will soon be vaporized because the party does not like people who are too intelligent. Parsons came and told me about his kids and how they are turning into keen little spies. Great.
