Holden is quite a complicated character. Sometimes the things he does are very noble like and other times he is just dirty. In the Lavender room, where a band was playing, people dancing, drinking, and other stuff, Holden met three ugly girls but he was nice to them and actually danced with all three. That is one thing I really admire about a guy is if he is willing to dance with even one of the ugliest girls ever. He gives her a chance to dance and lets her know that she is special in her own way. I find it really sweet. The girls in the Lavender room weren't very nice though. Holden tried to talk to them, compliment the blonde one on her dancing but she was to busy checking to see if anyone famous was in the room or about to walk in. She didn't even invite him to sit with them. And when they left they didn't even bother to offer to pay their tab. They just left him with it. Holden says, "I think they should've at least offered to pay for the drinks they had before I joined them-I wouldn't've let them,naturally, but they should've at least offered." So you can see how Holden can be quite the gentleman sometimes and he can act older than he is once in a while. I find, at this time, that he was really nice even though there was one weird part mixed in with it all.
