They were the heighth of modesty in the morning. ![]() I took a look out the window before I left the room, though, to see how all the perverts were doing, but they all had their shades down. After I made the date with old Sally, I got out of bed and got dressed and packed my bag. She gave me a pain in the ass, but she was very good-looking. I told her to meet me under the clock at the Biltmore at two o'clock, and not to be late, because the show probably started at two-thirty. Then she told me about some other guy, some West Point cadet, that was cutting his throat over her too. First she told me about some Harvard guy- it probably was a freshman, but she didn't say, naturally-that was rushing hell out of her. For a second, I was tempted to tell her to forget about the matinee. It's Sunday, but there's always one or two matinees going on Sunday. How are ya, anyway? I mean how's school?" "Fine," she said. How are ya?" "Holden! I'm fine! How are you?" It hasn't got a goddam thing to do with it, but I keep thinking it anyway.

I used to think she was quite intelligent, in my stupidity. I wasn't too crazy about her, but I'd known her for years.

I thought of giving old Jane a buzz, to see if she was home yet and all, but I wasn't in the mood. So I just laid around in bed for a while and smoked another cigarette. If you think I was dying to see him again, you're crazy. The phone was right next to me, and I started to call down and have them send up some breakfast, but I was sort of afraid they might send it up with old Maurice. The last time I'd eaten was those two hamburgers I had with Brossard and Ackley when we went in to Agerstown to the movies. I felt pretty hungry as soon as I had a cigarette. ![]() I didn't sleep too long, because I think it was only around ten o'clock when I woke up. ![]()
