1 For a week after this, life was like a restless dream.
2 A week had gone by since she had first approached him.
3 About twenty or thirty of them a week were falling on London at present.
4 I do voluntary work three evenings a week for the Junior Anti-Sex League.
5 So the performance continued to happen, once a week quite regularly, whenever it was not impossible.
6 And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be REDUCED to twenty grammes a week.
7 He told her about the frigid little ceremony that Katharine had forced him to go through on the same night every week.
8 It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grammes a week.
9 Actually, as Winston was aware, the chocolate ration was to be reduced from thirty grammes to twenty at the end of the present week.
10 The thought flitted through Winston's mind that it would probably be quite easy to rent the room for a few dollars a week, if he dared to take the risk.

15 And sure enough, following on a gory description of the annihilation of a Eurasian army, with stupendous figures of killed and prisoners, came the announcement that, as from next week, the chocolate ration would be reduced from thirty grammes to twenty.
16 So, one evening every week, Winston spent four hours of paralysing boredom, screwing together small bits of metal which were probably parts of bomb fuses, in a draughty, ill-lit workshop where the knocking of hammers mingled drearily with the music of the telescreens.
