Ooh, yeah, she's the one who wouldn't let him go off by himself, who insisted
on going with him if he left.  She wouldn't let him cut himself off from
everyone...


<<i agree, the catcher has to know that the cliff is there, and part of

however, stands on the brink of that cliff and knows it is there.  he may not
succeed in his ambition to be the catcher in the rye, but he certainly has the
qualifications to make the attempt.--matt>>

mmm...see...I think Holden was the Only One in the novel really in danger of
