Summary: Holden decides to take a cab to the Edmont Hotel. He calls a promiscuous girl because he aroused after watching some interesting asks, but Faith Cavendish needs her beauty sleep. Holden goes to the Edmont nightclub to meet three girls there and flirts/dances with them. He starts to remember his young sister Phoebe.
Quotation: "Anyways, she was somebody you always felt like talking to on the phone." (68)
Quotation Significance: After reading the very long paragraph about Phoebe we can conclude that Holden misses her at least a little bit. I am not surprised by this though, because if a teenager is by himself traveling he is bound to get lonely.
Reflection: These two chapters were fairly interesting to read. It seems that as this book goes on Holden starts to get more and more lonely, and he is looking for someone. I found it very amusing to read about how Holden thought he could get away with looking old due to his grey hair. It was also funny to read about how he was dancing with three older women and flirting with them. Holden's the man. When he starts to talk about his little sister Phoebe and his memories with her it is sad to read because it seems like he misses her.
Discussion Question: How is Holden going to do on his own? Is he going to be on his own for the remainder of the book?
