1984 ch. 6- pg. 184 "It appeared to Winston that a long time passed before he answered"(173).

I chose this quote because I think that it shows how Winston might not care about Julia so much. It was very obvious that Julia adores Winston when she immediately rejected being apart from him. Winston showed hesitation in his answer and seemed nervous to announce that he wanted to stay with Julia. I think that this insecurity may become a bigger issue later in the story.

intermittent- stopping or ceasing for a time
sordid- meanly selfish, self-seeking, or mercenary.
