Scene Setter: Scene #2:

"Winston picked his way up the lane through dappled light and shade, stepping out into pools of gold wherever the boughs parted. Under the trees to the left of them the ground was misty with bluebells. The air seemed to kiss one's skin. It was the second of May. From somewhere deeper in the heart of the wood came the droning of ring doves." (Page 117)

Winston has an appointment to meet with the girl with the dark hair (Julia). He arrives at their appointment place, the woods, which is in the countryside and has no telescreens. From the description, the place must be beautiful because the woods are filled with bluebells and he mentions "pools of gold." Also when he says "The air seemed to kiss one's skin" I imagined the woods having a fragrant smell.
