Catcher In The Rye Chapter 12

Summary: He takes a cab to a club that his brother used to go to a lot. He wants to see Ernie play the piano. He gets a crumby table that is behind a pole and when he listens to Ernie play he isn't impressed. He sees a girl named Lillian that used to go with his brother. He doesn't like her very much and is forced to leave when he tells her he has to go so he doesn't have to sit with then at their table.

Response: I think that he should have sat with them. He needs company to get his mind off of Jane. He needs to have company before he does something that he might regret.
