<<That was certainly how I first read it.  It gave such a warm feeling of
superiority.  I knew how just Franny felt.  And I was sure I'd have approached
her situation in just the way good old Zooey did. God, there were very few of

I felt the same way after my first reading, and have since then tried without
much success to get that idea out of my head.  Its a very BAD kind of idea,
you know.  Scottie, it looks like this idea has been out of your head for

myself.  Actually, I think I'm getting better.
