we have a small wind up clock, that chimes on the hour.....my wife has a habit of spinning the hands when she rewinds it, and starts it up again...What does the clock striking 13 mean in 1984?
So, if one hears a clock strike thirteen times, it should indicate something is wrong with the clock and that not only can it not be trusted now, but who knows how long before it struck thirteen it became untrustworthy. In 1984, Orwell tells the tale of a time in which government has lost all respect for truth.
however, unlike me, she NEVER stops at each hour.....so at 12, it might strike 4 times, or at 9 it might strike 12 times.....
i keep telling her...1 hour at a time and STOP to let it chime, the go to the next hour....
i gave up after a while..........
