After mine and Stadlater's fight, I went in to see Old Ackley. I mean I didnt really feel like being on my own. Only I think he was asleep, I mean it was pretty late. But anyway, he seemed pretty interested in what had happened to my face, and wanted to know what the fight had been over. Only I coundn't be bothered to go into the details with Ackley, so I started shooting the bull. I told ihm I was defending him goddam honour. That seemed to shut him up, and let me stay in his room-mate's bed for the night seeing as he was out of town.
Only Ackley's lousy snoring was nearly driving me crazy! So I made a decision, I decided to leave Pencey there and then rather than wait until next Wednesday. So I just packed up and left. Just like that.
