Instead of ringing Mr. Yunioshi's doorbell to let her into the house, Holly starts to ring the protagonist's.  Even though she would ring in the early hours of the morning, he doesn't mind.  The protagonist sees Holly in various places in town.  One night he sees her at "21" at a table with four men.  Another night he sees her outside of P.J. Clarke's Saloon with a group of Australian soldiers dancing her around while singing "Waltzing Matilda".  The protagonist still has yet to actually make an acquaintance with Holly until a cool autumn night in September.  He finds her outside of his window hiding from a man, whom she claims to be a "biter",that she brought home. The protagonist and Holly carry on a conversation ranging from why she left home, her feelings about dating older men, why lesbian roommates make better housekeepers, and her visits to see Sally Tomato in Sing Sing. The protagonist then meets O.J Berman at Holly's apartment when he shows up to have drinks. O.J tells the narrartor that he feels Holly is a phony but he believes she is a "real phony"(30) because she believes everything that she says. The protagonist also gets his first look at Rutherfurd (Rusty) Tawler. He descibes him as a middle aged man that never lost his baby fat. He also gets to meet Mag Wildwood for the first time. She is a young woman standing six feet tall, and has a struttering problem. Mag seems to demand all the attention in the room, until upon her going to the bathroom, Holly makes comments, that leave the rest of the guests uninterseted in Mag when she returns. As the guests of the party begin to leave Holly asks the narrartor to escort Mag to a taxi, but before he can try Mag passes out landing face first on the floor. He gets a pillow and leaves her there to sleep it off.
