The Catcher In The Rye - Chapter 13

Holden leaves Ernie's and walks back to the hotel. He thinks about some gloves of his that somebody stole back at Pencey and imagines confronting whoever took them, but knows that he wouldn't really do it because he isn't brave enough. When he gets to the hotel, a man offers to send a prostitute to his room. He says he'll pay the $5 for her, and when she comes he doesn't want to do anything with her. She leaves, mad at him for wasting her time.
