Chapter 9 Summary

When the narrator arrives at the Penn station, he goes into the phone booth to call someone to pick him up. He does not want to call his parents because they will be irate when they hear their son got expelled from the school. Also, he does not want to wake anybody up, so he just takes a taxi to a hotel where he will stay for a couple of days. When he arrives at the hotel, he figures out that there are many perverts in the area. He thinks of a girl named, Anne Louise Sherman, who he had sex with. Now he remembers that he got a phone number and an address of a woman, who is not exactly a prostitute but who would do it once in a while, from a guy he met at Princeton University. The narrator calls her and asks for a cocktail with him, but she rejects him since it was too late at night.
