	The narrator notices the decreasing mention of Holly in the news and finds himself longing to be with her once again. He reads in the headlines of a newspaper about Sally Tomato's death and how Holly is believed to be in Rio. Holly's "abandoned possessions" are sold, and a man ~~named~~ Quaintance Smith moves into her old apartment. Mr. Quaintance entertains as many friends as Holly did, and Madame Spanella has no problem with him or his noisy friends. Madame Spanella evens comes to Mr. Quaintance's aid when he is bruised by one of his guest. Little is heard of from Holly, until the narrator receives a postcard in the spring. It appears she has met someone new and is looking for somewhere to live. Holly informs him that Brazil was too tough, but she has moved to Buenos Aires and she likes it. She explains how it is not Tiffany's but close. The new gentleman that she is interested in is a guy she calls $enor. He is married and has seven children. Holly believes that she is in love with him. The narrator is excited at the thought of hearing from Holly again. He wishes he had an address in which to write Holly to tell her, he read in the newspaper that the Trawlers are getting a divorce and that he is moving out of the brownstone because it is haunted, and that he sold two of his stories. Most important, he wanted Holly to know that he found her cat ~~and he catches himself wondering what the cat's name is now that he has a proper home~~.

Everyone of Capote's characters either represents a good presence or a bad presence. Toward the end of the novella, the narrator's love for Holly shows when he spends weeks trying to find her cat. Not too many people would do something for someone else that required so much time and effort.

Not too many people would do something for someone else that required so much time and effort.

			Even though the narrator has all these regrets, he never expresses any remorse about never telling Holly how he really feels about her. He is so excited to hear from her, and has all these things he wants to tell her. So the narrator is still thinking about her and still in love with her, but he has no desire to know what would have happened if he would have told her how he feels.

	The last section of the novella focuses on the narrator's last regrets concerning Holly. The gossip in the paper dies down and he goes through the months of winter hoping to hear from her. In the time that has passed since she left, a man named Quaintance Smith has moved into her old apartment. He receives far better treatment from Madame Spanella that Holly did. He hosts parties and has the occasional black eye, for which Spanella aids him with "filet mignon" (110).		The last section of the novella focuses on the narrator's last regrets concerning Holly.

The headlines in the paper tell of Sally Tomato's death and the disappearance of Holly (109). This sums up the story by having Holly return to her carefree ways by running away again. The narrator seems more worried about where she is than her running away from the law and Sally Tomato's crooked business. Paul Levine writes," there is more than a hint that they form a part of a solid literary phalanx of spiritual non-conformists, of yea-saying rebels whose off-center vision, whose unflagging but unorthodox sense of rightness alienates them from society" (352). Holly Golightly was right in her own way; unfortunately, her sense of rightness didn't hold up in society. It's no wonder that she ran away.

	The mention of the Trawlers countersuing for divorce seems to add a humorous turn on the whole affair between Holly, Rusty, and Mag (110). It seems that Mag was only out for money and/or jealousy from the beginning of her affair with Rusty. Holly was not at all affected by their marriage, and proved it by leaving for Rio in search of another life.
