Quote 20 of 28

From The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger

She thanked me and all when I had it [a little girl's skate] tightened
for her.  She was a very nice, polite little kid.  God, I love it when
a kid's nice and polite when you tighten their skate for them or
something.  Most kids are.  They really are.  I asked her if she'd
care to have a hot chocolate or something with me, but she said no,
thank you.  She said she had to meet her friend.  Kids always have to
meet their friend.  That kills me.
