Holden walks to the train staion and when he gets on the train he meets an older lady that happens to be one of the mothers of a boy that goes to Pency, Ernest Morrow. Holden does not like Ernest, but he starts lying and telling his mother that he is a very popular and could have been class president but he did not want anyone to nomminate him. Holden does not tell her his real name, he gives her the name of the janitor. Then when she asks him why he is leaving Pency early he tells her he is having an oporation because he has a brain tumor. After he tells her this she gets very concerned and Holden feels kind of bad for lying so much. He tries to get her to go get a drink with him. She says no and that the the place where you get the drinks is probably closed since it is so late.
Holden has a very bad problem with lying. Practically everything he said to that women was a lie. It is also very weird that he was flirting with an older woman that was one of his classmates mothers.
