Well, Sally Hayes is a generally rude character. What about DB's girl friend, the one out on a date with Commander Blop, who holds up all the people trying to get past her and enjoys it. Reminds me of a few days ago, it was after the Melbourne Cup, a big deal horse race over here (`you were supposed to commit suicide or something if ol' Pencey didn't win'). Ten people got on my train which was already packed and hot and miserable. They were either drunk or just stupid (I suspect both). I have never observed people with a larger compulsion to make that many people that miserable. They laughed, they swore, they talked at the top of their voices about vacuuous things, they swore, they generally ticked people off, they swore, and just made everyone want to slaughter them. Thank you for a sensible question. This list had started to get so Britney Spears FAQ for a while there. Camille > This list is almost getting rude! So I'm wondering, of all the salinger > fiction, where is the behavior of characters most rude? Gedsuski in TLM? > The gray haired man in PMAGME? William Jameson Jr. of TYF?
