The Catcher in the Rye Chapter 23

Holden leaves the room for a second to call his old English teacher. He is shocked that Holden has dropped out of another school and says Holden could come and stay with him. Holden goes back into the Phoebe's room and asks her to dance. They then hear the door open and it is the parents. Holden jumps in the closet and tries to fan away the cigarette smoke. The mom tucks her in and Holden waits until she is gone. He comes out of the closet and tells her goodbye and that he is moving to the west. Phoebe gives all of her money that she saved from Christmas to him and he gave her his red hunting hat on the way out.
