112.126.94.196:2137 open socks4 proxy was used on 21 November for a

door.
     Already!  He sat as  still as a mouse, in the futile hope that whoever
it  was  might go  away after  a single  attempt. But  no, the knocking was
repeated.  The worst thing of all would be to delay. His heart was thumping
like a drum, but his face, from long habit, was probably expressionless. He
got up and moved heavily towards the door.

     As  he put his  hand to the door-knob Winston saw that he had left the
diary  open on the table. DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER was written all over it, in
letters  almost  big enough  to  be  legible across  the  room.  It was  an
