## Contents
Chapter 13 details Holden Caulfield's return to his hotel after a night out. He reflects on his "yellowness" and his aversion to physical confrontation, particularly fist fights. The chapter describes his encounter with an elevator operator who offers to send a prostitute to his room. Holden agrees, feeling depressed, and prepares for her arrival. The prostitute, named Sunny, arrives, and Holden attempts to engage her in conversation, but ultimately decides he does not want to have sex, citing a recent "operation" on his "clavichord." Sunny becomes angry when Holden only offers her five dollars, claiming the price is ten. The elevator operator, Maurice, then returns with Sunny, demanding the additional five dollars and physically assaulting Holden when he refuses to pay. The chapter concludes with Holden fantasizing about revenge against Maurice, imagining himself shooting him and then calling Jane for comfort.
