But not corny. She was just nice and all. "I must tell Ernest we met," she said. "May I ask your name, dear?"
"Rudolf Schmidt," I told her. I didn't feel like giving her my whole life history. Rudolf Schmidt was the name of the janitor of our dorm."

Thousands of little kids and nobody's around-- nobody big, I mean-- except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff-- I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them."]]> 2017-10-16 22:13:44 UTC https://padlet.com/msil9130/aacsgcz6qii5/wish/197588366 msil9130 https://padlet.com/msil9130/aacsgcz6qii5/wish/197592823 This moment is important because it it the moment that Holden realizes that he wants to be "The Catcher in the Rye."

I felt so damn happy if you want to know the truth. I don't know why. It was just that she looked so damn nice, the way she kept going around and around, in her blue coat and all.
