Why was Parsons being arrested?
?
?
Parsons was arrested for thoughtcrime. He was turned in by his daughter, after she heard him talking in his sleep.
‘It was my little daughter,’ said Parsons with a sort of doleful pride. ‘She listened at the keyhole. Heard what I was saying, and nipped off to the patrols the very next day. Pretty smart for a nipper of seven, eh? I don’t bear her any grudge for it. In fact I’m proud of her. It shows I brought her up in the right spirit, anyway.’
