Chapter 8 - Mrs Morrow

So, I left Pencey Prep. I walked the whole way to the station, it wasnt too far. It was cold as hell out, I didnt mind though, I sort of enjoy the air-its fresh an pure. I didnt have to wait long for the train. I don’t mind train rides, especially at night with the lights on and the windows black. Anyway, a lady got on at Trenton Station and sat down next to me. She was around 45 I guess, but she was very good looking. Women kill me. They really do. Im not over-sexed or anything-I am quite sexy though. I just like them.
She noticed the crumby Pencey sticker on my bag. She said her son went to Pencey, Ernest Morrow. I told her I knew him and that he was in my class. He was the biggest moron that ever went to Pencey, but I didn’t tell her that – of course. I told her my name was Rudolf Schmidt. I didn’t feel like giving her my whole life story. Rudolf Schmidt was the janitor of our dorm. I started shooting the old crap around about Ernest.
I asked her if she fancied a cocktail in the club car, I was in the mood for one myself. I told her I could usually get them because of my height and all my gray hair. She still refused though, the club car was closed anyway it was late. She asked why I was going home before break started. So I lied. Again. I told her I had to have an operation, only a minor one to remove a tiny tumor, on the brain. She seemed really worried for me. She was getting of at Newark. She invited me to visit Ernest in the holidays. But I just thanked her and told her I was going to South America with my grandmother. Another lie.
