We find out that she recently quit her theater activities (she was an actress at school) because she was afraid of becoming egotistical herself. She resents the whole college system because she thinks her professors are egotistical. It seems that Franny has been going through this judgmental, angry phase for some time now. Lane comes off as pretentious, and Franny is torn between her annoyance at Lane and her anger at herself for being critical. Franny claims to have missed Lane, but quickly realizes she doesn't mean her words at all. As the two of them head to a fancy French restaurant to have lunch together, it quickly becomes clear these two college coeds have some relationship problems. When Franny arrives however, Lane pretends he barely remembers the letter and tries to hide how excited he is to see her. He reads a letter of hers for about the fifth time in which she, rather humbly, discusses her love for Sappho (an Ancient Greek poet) and for him, Lane. Lane Coutell, a college student, stands on a train platform waiting for his girlfriend to arrive.
