Charrington's shop as he's rented in long term at the front of the hearth is an oil stove a saucepan and two cups but Winston's physical desire for Julia has turned into deeper affection and he wants to make the space a little more romantic Julia arrives with real coffee real sugar and other treats she wears makeup and perfume they make love and fall asleep Julia sees a rat when she wakes up unfazed she tosses a shoe at it and starts to describe what rats do to their babies Winston is in a panic he hates rats it reminds him of a dream of something to dread for him to face Julia asks about the paperweights and the picture of st. Clements Church on the wall Winston recites a verse from the rhyme about it and to his astonishment she finishes it in this chapter Winston contemplates the paperweight and he sees it as his in Julia's room symbolizing both their lives and a secret place where they're sealed off for Big Brother he also describes it as a useless object in a chunk of history perhaps Orwell is hinting that under the party remembering is useless but what tidbits he can remember are beautiful we also see how much Winston hates rats foreshadowing you
