Chapter 10:

Characters: Holden

Theme: Hypocracy
Summary: Holden goes down to the Lavendar Room in the Edmont's nightclub, but before he leaves he thinks about calling his sister Pheobe. He describes her an intelligent girl who is very pretty, but is emotional. The description is somewhat like Allies to where they both have red hair, and very smart for their age. She enjoys The Steps and can quote and mimick parts of it while it's playing. She enjoys writing stories about a girl named 'Hazel Weatherfield.' Insead of calling her he heads downstairs and tries to order a drink but the waiter refuses to bring him anything but a coke. He sits by the 'older' women and thinks one is more beautiful than the others and asks if she wants to dance. She laughs, and he feels a little irritated. He tells the girls he'll dance with all three off them, but they don't pay too much attention because they had seen a movie star not long ago, and decided that maybe he'd show up at the Lavendar Room. Holden ends up dancing with all three, and then sitting at their table. It is impossible to get the ladies to speak more than two words or even any at all. For his own amusement he says that he just saw Gary Cooper the movie star walk out. The women freak out, pay for their drinks that they didn't even offer to buy themselves, and leaves.
