Chapter 14 It is just after the prostitute has left. Holden is alone in his hotel room, thinking about Allie. He recalls a time he didn't let Allie go with him and a friend to shoot a BB gun. Now in his room, he talks out loud to Allie, telling him he can go. He talks out loud to the dead boy whenever he feels especially depressed. Holden gets into bed and thinks about religion and Jesus. He considers himself an atheist. He hears a knock on his door and opens it, still wearing his pajamas. Maurice and the prostitute, Sunny, come into his room and demand five dollars. Holden refuses to give it to them, even when Maurice threatens him. Sunny takes Holden's wallet and pulls out five dollars. He begins to cry.

Chapter 15 Holden gets up in at about ten o'clock in the morning and calls Sally Hayes. He invites her to a matinee and she agrees to meet him at two o'clock that afternoon. He goes to Grand Central Station to put his bags in a locker. He thinks about his parents and the affect Allie's death has had on his mother. Holden says that she has become nervous. He orders himself a big breakfast. While eating, he sees two nuns with cheap suitcases. Holden thinks, "I can even get to hate somebody, just looking at them, if they have cheap suitcases with them." He strikes up a conversation with the nuns and gives them a ten-dollar donation.

Chapter 16 After breakfast, Holden still has two hours before meeting Sally, so he decides to walk to Broadway in order to find a record that he wants to buy for Phoebe. It's called "Little Shirley Beans" and he knows Phoebe will love it. As he walks down the street, he sees a little boy who is singing while he walks with his parents. Holden is impressed by the little boy's voice as he sings, "If a body catch a body coming through the rye." Hearing the song makes Holden feel a little happier and less depressed. He finds the record he is looking for and buys it. He then buys two tickets for a play starring the Lunts. He doesn't like shows, but he knows Sally will be impressed.
