So after I had left Pencey, I was just wondering around, not really knowing where to go. I thought it was too late to get a cab, so I decided to get the train back to New York and stay in a hotel for a few nights until I was officially due to go back home.
So I was sat on the train, minding my own business when this woman comes on and sits down right next to me. I mean there was a whole carriage free yet she stil sat right next to me. It kinda annoyed me, but then when I looked closely I saw she was quite attractive for an older lady, so I didnt mind too much. Anyway, she must of noticed the Pencey stickers on my bag and she asked did I go there.
I told her I did, so she started asking me all about the school. Turns out she was Ernie Morrow's mom - the biggest bastard at the school, the kind of guy who would whip you with a towel after a shower, that kind of ass - she asked me did I know him. I told her I did, and that my name was Rudolf Schmidt (our janitor), I don't really know why I did it, I jsut felt like shooting the bull and I started getting really carried away, telling he what a swell guy her son was. Mother's love to hear that kind of crap.
I was really getting to like her, and I asked her would she like to join me for a drink somewhere, but she said no. Not long after she got off the train, not before asking me to come and visit Ernie in the next summer vacation, I told her I was going to South America with my Grandma though. As if I would go and spend time with thst crumby bastard!
