I don't\nneed anything. I'm just going the way I am. I'm not even taking the bags I got at the\nstation. What the hellya got in there?\"\nShe put the suitcase down. \"My clothes,\" she said. \"I'm going with you. Can I?\nOkay?\"\n\"What?\" I said. I almost fell over when she said that. I swear to God I did. I got\nsort of dizzy and I thought I was going to pass out or something again.\n\"I took them down the back elevator so Charlene wouldn't see me. It isn't heavy.\nAll I have in it is two dresses and my moccasins and my underwear and socks and some\nother things. Feel it. It isn't heavy. Feel it once. . . Can't I go with you? Holden? Can't I?\nPlease.\"\n\"No. Shut up.\"\nI thought I was going to pass out cold. I mean I didn't mean to tell her to shut up\nand all, but I thought I was going to pass out again.\n\"Why can't I? Please, Holden! I won't do anything-- I'll just go with you, that's all!\nI won't even take my clothes with me if you don't want me to--I'll just take my--\"\n\"You can't take anything. Because you're not going. I'm going alone. So shut up.\"\n\"Please, Holden. Please let me go. I'll be very, very, very--You won't even--\"\n\"You're not going. Now, shut up! Gimme that bag,\" I said. I took the bag off her. I\nwas almost all set to hit her, I thought I was going to smack her for a second. I really did.\nShe started to cry.\n\"I thought you were supposed to be in a play at school and all I thought you were\nsupposed to be Benedict Arnold in that play and all,\" I said. I said it very nasty.\n\"Whuddaya want to do? Not be in the play, for God's sake?\" That made her cry even\nharder. I was glad. All of a sudden I wanted her to cry till her eyes practically dropped\nout. I almost hated her. I think I hated her most because she wouldn't be in that play any\nmore if she went away with me.\n\"Come on,\" I said. I started up the steps to the museum again. I figured what I'd\ndo was, I'd check the crazy suitcase she'd brought in the checkroom, andy then she could\nget it again at three o'clock, after school. I knew she couldn't take it back to school with\nher. \"Come on, now,\" I said.\nShe didn't go up the steps with me, though. She wouldn't come with me. I went up\nanyway, though, and brought the bag in the checkroom and checked it, and then I came\ndown again. She was still standing there on the sidewalk, but she turned her back on me\nwhen I came up to her. She can do that. She can turn her back on you when she feels like\nit. \"I'm not going away anywhere. I changed my mind. So stop crying, and shut up,\" I\nsaid. The funny part was, she wasn't even crying when I said that. I said it anyway,\nthough, \"C'mon, now. I'll walk you back to school. C'mon, now. You'll be late.\"\nShe wouldn't answer me or anything. I sort of tried to get hold of her old hand, but\nshe wouldn't let me. She kept turning around on me.\n\"Didja have your lunch? Ya had your lunch yet?\" I asked her.\nShe wouldn't answer me. All she did was, she took off my red hunting hat--the\none I gave her--and practically chucked it right in my face. Then she turned her back on\nme again. It nearly killed me, but I didn't say anything. I just picked it up and stuck it in\nmy coat pocket.\n\"Come on, hey. I'll walk you back to school,\" I said.","text_extracted_at":"2026-01-30T03:36:14.310Z","text_extracted_by":"pdf-processor","text_has_content":true,"text_source":"born_digital","uploaded":true,"width":1855},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KFHMJM2J9JHQAQM1Q9SKBJWF","predicate":"derived_from"},{"peer":"01KFF1K6A8V452X8SQKY55DD16","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"},{"peer":"01KG6FJ3CPMVABAEAE8E34YDJ9","predicate":"prev"},{"peer":"01KG6FJ3DHKGCZHZMATY8CCQT3","predicate":"next"},{"peer":"01KG6FNTS2R88GVWGYJP3XK677","peer_label":"Rye_page_0111_medium.jpg","peer_type":"file","predicate":"has_derivative"},{"peer":"01KG6FNY8P5GGPZR9M3VJ0MKDC","peer_label":"Rye_page_0111_thumb.jpg","peer_type":"file","predicate":"has_derivative"},{"peer":"01KG6FT59BXAZ3C5HRJ6SW8F58","predicate":"has_assembly"}],"ver":6,"created_at":"2026-01-30T03:36:14.699Z","ts":"2026-01-30T03:40:42.711Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFFC4A8W8939TXGEXCK439ZK"}}
