![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Allie had written poems all over his fielder’s mitt in green ink, so as to have something to read when he was bored in the outfield. Holden can’t think of anything worth describing, except for his brother Allie’s left-handed baseball mitt. They intend to see a movie, but both Ackley and Mal have seen the one showing, so the boys just have hamburgers, play pinball, then catch a bus back to Pencey.Īfter returning to the dorms and kicking Ackley out of his room, Holden starts writing the descriptive essay for Stradlater. This is no surprise, since Ackley complains about everyone. Ackley comes along, but not before complaining about having to go with Mal. Holden invites Ackley along as a favor, since Ackley never goes out on Saturdays. Stradlater has already left for his date with Jane Gallagher, so Holden decides to take a bus into town with his friend, Mal Brossard, to watch a "lousy movie" and get a burger. In the whiteness, everything looks beautiful. After dinner, the students go outside to three inches of fresh snow and start horsing around, which Holden enjoys a great deal. It’s Saturday night, and the steak dinner they serve every Saturday at Pencey is, as usual, no good.
