It took him about an hour to comb his\n   764\thair.\n   765\t\"Her mother and father were divorced. Her mother was married again to some\n   766\tbooze hound,\" I said. \"Skinny guy with hairy legs. I remember him. He wore shorts all\n   767\tthe time. Jane said he was supposed to be a playwright or some goddam thing, but all I\n   768\tever saw him do was booze all the time and listen to every single goddam mystery\n   769\tprogram on the radio.

About the booze hound\n   772\trunning around the house naked, with Jane around. Stradlater was a very sexy bastard.\n   773\t\"She had a lousy childhood. I'm not kidding.\"\n   774\tThat didn't interest Stradlater, though. Only very sexy stuff interested him.\n   775\t\"Jane Gallagher. Jesus . . . I couldn't get her off my mind. I really couldn't. \"I\n   776\toughta go down and say hello to her, at least.\"\n   777\t\"Why the hell don'tcha, instead of keep saying it?\" Stradlater said.\n   778\tI walked over to the window, but you couldn't see out of it, it was so steamy from\n   779\tall the heat in the can.. \"I'm not in the mood right now,\" I said. I wasn't, either. You have\n   780\tto be in the mood for those things. \"I thought she went to Shipley. I could've sworn she\n   781\twent to Shipley.\" I walked around the can for a little while. I didn't have anything else to\n   782\tdo. \"Did she enjoy the game?\" I said.\n   783\t\"Yeah, I guess so. I don't know.\"\n   784\t\"Did she tell you we used to play checkers all the time, or anything?\"\n   785\t\"I don't know. For Chrissake, I only just met her,\" Stradlater said. He was finished\n   786\tcombing his goddam gorgeous hair. He was putting away all his crumby toilet articles.\n   787\t\"Listen. Give her my regards, willya?\"\n   788\t\"Okay,\" Stradlater said, but I knew he probably wouldn't. You take a guy like\n   789\tStradlater, they never give your regards to people.\n   790\tHe went back to the room, but I stuck around in the can for a while, thinking\n   791\tabout old Jane. Then I went back to the room, too.\n   792\tStradlater was putting on his tie, in front of the mirror, when I got there. He spent\n   793\taround half his goddam life in front of the mirror. I sat down in my chair and sort of\n   794\twatched him for a while.\n   795\t\"Hey,\" I said. \"Don't tell her I got kicked out, willya?\"\n   796\t\"Okay.\"\n   797\tThat was one good thing about Stradlater. You didn't have to explain every\n   798\tgoddam little thing with him, the way you had to do with Ackley. Mostly, I guess,\n   799\tbecause he wasn't too interested. That's really why. Ackley, it was different.
