Summary: Holden is walking towards the train station and is very cold. He gets lucky because he only has to wait about ten minutes for the train to come around and pick him up. He is one of the only ones on the bus but then a good looking gal comes and sits in the seat right next to him. It turns out she is the mother of a kid that goes to Pencey named Ernest. He is one of the more popular boys at the school and Holden sort of brags him up telling a couple lies. Holden tells the women his name is Rudolph and he is leaving the school because he has a small brain tumor and needs an operation.
Response: I think that it was good for Holden to talk to an older adult that could possibly give him some advice. It kind of disturbs me that Holden is such a good lier and could tell a whole story of lies without even thinking about it.
