This short chapter is devoted almost exclusively to Holden’s recollections of Jane Gallagher. Sitting in a “vomity-looking” chair in the lobby of the Edmont Hotel, he remembers how they met and what they did the summer before his sophomore year. He thinks he knows her “like a book.” Despite the late hour, Holden still is not tired. He decides to visit Ernie’s Nightclub in Greenwich Village.
