The next morning, I called Sally Hayes and made a date with her- we were going to the theatre. I checked out of the hotel and left my bags in a locker at Grand Central Station. I remember worrying about losing my money. My father gets very angry when I lose things - I guess it come with being a kid. My mum is a bit ‘crazy’, well since Allie died all of a sudden things have been a bit down hill. That’s why I haven’t told her aout me being kicked out Pencey.

Boy! I remember being hungry, I was starving. I went to the café that was in the station. This were I met two nuns who were moving to Manhattan to teach in a school. I started to talk to one of the nuns about Romeo and Juliet. I was skint but I gave them ten dollars as a charitable contribution. After they left, although I needed the money for the date with Sally I regretted giving only ten dollars.
