Except Alice's mother. She kept leaning over and asking her if she felt\n  4257\tgrippy during the whole entire movie. We took a taxi home.\"\n  4258\t\"Let me feel your forehead.\"\n  4259\t\"I didn't catch anything. She didn't have anything. It was just her mother.\"\n  4260\t\"Well. Go to sleep now. How was your dinner?\"\n  4261\t\"Lousy,\" Phoebe said.\n\n<!-- [Page 96](arke:01KFYTAC8KP3ECATZAFZTCC7N2) -->\n  4262\t\"You heard what your father said about using that word. What was lousy about it?\n  4263\tYou had a lovely lamb chop. I walked all over Lexington Avenue just to--\"\n  4264\t\"The lamb chop was all right, but Charlene always breathes on me whenever she\n  4265\tputs something down. She breathes all over the food and everything. She breathes on\n  4266\teverything.\"\n  4267\t\"Well. Go to sleep. Give Mother a kiss. Did you say your prayers?\"\n  4268\t\"I said them in the bathroom. G'night!\"\n  4269\t\"Good night. Go right to sleep now. I have a splitting headache,\" my mother said.\n  4270\tShe gets headaches quite frequently. She really does.\n  4271\t\"Take a few aspirins,\" old Phoebe said. \"Holden'll be home on Wednesday, won't\n  4272\the?\"\n  4273\t\"So far as I know. Get under there, now. Way down.\"\n  4274\tI heard my mother go out and close the door. I waited a couple of minutes. Then I\n  4275\tcame out of the closet. I bumped smack into old Phoebe when I did it, because it was so\n  4276\tdark and she was out of bed and coming to tell me. \"I hurt you?\" I said. You had to\n  4277\twhisper now, because they were both home. \"I gotta get a move on,\" I said. I found the\n  4278\tedge of the bed in the dark and sat down on it and started putting on my shoes. I was\n  4279\tpretty nervous. I admit it.\n  4280\t\"Don't go now,\" Phoebe whispered. \"Wait'll they're asleep!\"\n  4281\t\"No. Now. Now's the best time,\" I said. \"She'll be in the bathroom and Daddy'll\n  4282\tturn on the news or something. Now's the best time.\" I could hardly tie my shoelaces, I\n  4283\twas so damn nervous. Not that they would've killed me or anything if they'd caught me\n  4284\thome, but it would've been very unpleasant and all. \"Where the hell are ya?\" I said to old\n  4285\tPhoebe. It was so dark I couldn't see her.\n  4286\t\"Here.\" She was standing right next to me. I didn't even see her.\n  4287\t\"I got my damn bags at the station,\" I said. \"Listen. You got any dough, Phoeb?\n  4288\tI'm practically broke.\"\n  4289\t\"Just my Christmas dough. For presents and all. I haven't done any shopping at all\n  4290\tyet.\"\n  4291\t\"Oh.\" I didn't want to take her Christmas dough.\n  4292\t\"You want some?\" she said.\n  4293\t\"I don't want to take your Christmas dough.\"\n  4294\t\"I can lend you some,\" she said. Then I heard her over at D.B.'s desk, opening a\n  4295\tmillion drawers and feeling around with her hand. It was pitch-black, it was so dark in the\n  4296\troom. \"If you go away, you won't see me in the play,\" she said. Her voice sounded funny\n  4297\twhen she said it.\n  4298\t\"Yes, I will. I won't go way before that. You think I wanna miss the play?\" I said.\n  4299\t\"What I'll do, I'll probably stay at Mr. Antolini's house till maybe Tuesday night. Then I'll\n  4300\tcome home. If I get a chance, I'll phone ya.\"\n  4301\t\"Here,\" old Phoebe said. She was trying to give me the dough, but she couldn't\n  4302\tfind my hand.\n  4303\t\"Where?\"\n  4304\tShe put the dough in my hand.\n  4305\t\"Hey, I don't need all this,\" I said. \"Just give me two bucks, is all. No kidding--\n  4306\tHere.\" I tried to give it back to her, but she wouldn't take it.\n  4307\t\"You can take it all. You can pay me back. Bring it to the play.\"\n","title":"Chunk 3"},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KG07254VHN5K5GDFD5CPD1X4","peer_label":"23","peer_type":"chapter","predicate":"in"},{"peer":"01KFXT0KM64XT6K8W52TDEE0YS","peer_label":"More Classics","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"}],"ver":1,"created_at":"2026-01-27T17:18:33.583Z","ts":"2026-01-27T17:18:33.583Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFF0H3YRP9ZSM033AM0QJ47H"}}
