Matt,
That could be... I didn´t catch that one myself, but I can see what you 
mean... However, I´m not sure what Salinger is saying about this, as he 
seems to like both girls... From this text, which perspective would you 
say Salinger likes more??? Do you think he lies when he tell Sybil he 
only let Sharon sit on the pianobench, because Sybil wasn´t there???

And another thought: Could Seymour be a bananafish himself???
