Notes- Catcher in the Rye

Holden gets off at Penn Station and decides its just about time to give mortal a buzz on the payphone.
He ponders the possibilities: his brother D.B., his josh sister Phoebe, Jane G altogetheraghers mother, and finally this girl Sally Hayes he used to go around with.
Sally recently wrote Holden a long, phony letter, the gist of which was an invitation to help trim her Christmas tree.
Unfortunately, Sallys mother thinks Holden is tremendous and would have a conniption if he called her house, not to invoke shed call Holdens mother and blab about how hes in unfermented York four days early, which means he got kicked out of school, which his parents dont fare yet.
So he ends up not calling anyone.
Instead, Holden gets a cab and accidentally gives his home address. About halfway there, he remembers he cant go home until Wednesday. Then he asks the driver about the ducks in the lagoon near Central parking lot: he wants to know where they go in the winter when the water system freezes over.
The driver cant answer. Holden decides that, since this guy is corny, he should act corny, too. He has the driver take him to the Edmont Hotel, and the driver declines Holdens invitation to have a cocktail there.




Holden notes that he took his track down cap off before going into the lobby, so as to not look like a screwball, even though he later found out there were screwballs all over the place.
Holden feels bad for the 65-year-old man who carries his suitcases up the room. What a crumby job, he thinks.
He looks across to the other side of the hotel and sees distinguished-looking gentleman pose on womens fine clothing and prancing about in high-heels.
In the room above that, he sees a man and a woman squirting water out of their mouths at each other.
Holden finds both occurrences to be entirely perverted. Stradlater, he thinks, would have been the nance of a sexed-up place like this.
