you happen to be interested in old prints at all--' he began
delicately.
Winston came across to examine the picture. It was a steel engraving
of an oval building with rectangular windows, and a small tower in front.
There was a railing running round the building, and at the rear end there
was what appeared to be a statue. Winston gazed at it for some moments. It
seemed vaguely familiar, though he did not remember the statue.
'The frame's fixed to the wall,' said the old man, 'but I could
unscrew it for you, I dare say.'
'I know that building,' said Winston finally. 'It's a ruin now. It's
in the middle of the street outside the Palace of Justice.'
'That's right. Outside the Law Courts. It was bombed in -- oh, many
years ago. It was a church at one time, St. Clement's Danes, its name was.'
He smiled apologetically, as though conscious of saying something slightly
ridiculous, and added: '"Oranges and lemons," say the bells of St.
Clement's!'
'What's that?' said Winston.
'Oh -- "'Oranges and lemons,' say the bells of St. Clement's." That
was a rhyme we had when I was a little boy. How it goes on I don't
remember, but I do know it
