Holden finishes breakfast and takes a walk, thinking about nuns collecting donations. He imagines what his mother and aunt would be like as charity collectors. While walking on Broadway, he hears a young boy singing happily to himself, which lifts Holden's mood. He buys a record for his sister Phoebe. Unable to find Phoebe in Central Park, he takes a taxi to meet his date, Sally Hayes, at the Biltmore hotel.
