 Chapter 8 - Summary
Holden walks to the train station, uses snow to wash the blood from his face,
and takes the train into the city. At one stop a middle-aged woman boards and
notices Pencey stickers on Holden's suitcase. She asks if Holden knows her son,
Ernest Morrow, whom Holden considers a jerk. Holden gives a fake name and
praises Ernest. Holden describes Ernest as too modest to accept the position of
class president. He then suggests to Mrs. Morrow that they get drinks in the
club car, but she declines, clearly suspicious of his age. She asks why Holden is
headed home before classes end, and he lies about an operation on a brain
tumor. Mrs. Morrow wishes Holden well and invites him to visit during the
summer, to which he replies that he has plans to travel to South America then.

"adult", he offered a cigarette to mrs. morrow and
