Alright Earnest Hemingway...when does the plot begin?
At this point in the novel what i suppose is our heroin has now taken up company with a Harlot. We can conclude that he is really bored or very lonely. It is almost sad to see the conversation between the pair on page 23. They talk about being sick and Georgette ( or whatever her name is) responds with "Everybody's sick. I'm sick too" (pg. 23). It is almost symbolic language for her view of the entire world. That she would say that "everyone" was "sick" must mean that she thinks the world has a disease and we must live with it. Later we see that Georgette is , in fact, a harlot and is now being danced with as if she is some exotic person from another planet to enjoy an experience with. This whole chapter seems to have symbolic language about the mood of Jack also.
