1984

What do you think is the purpose of the "knowing glance" exchanged between mother and son during the initial science of the story?

Also, what does the messenger mean when he says that Herbert "is not in any pain"? How does the author clarify this meaning in the following paragraph?

I do not recall anyone named "Herbert" in 1984.
