Summary: Chapter III
After Cohn leaves, Jake continues to sit in the café. He catches the eye of a pretty prostitute named
Georgette. They have a drink together, and Jake decides it would be nice to have dinner with someone.
They catch a horse cab to find a restaurant. While in the cab, Georgette makes a pass at Jake. Jake
refuses her, saying he is sick. At dinner he explains that he received a wound in the war that makes such
sexual dalliances impossible for him. Georgette exclaims against "that dirty war," but Jake is in no mood to
talk about it. He escapes from the conversation when a group of his friends--Cohn and Frances among
them--hails him from a nearby table. They invite him and Georgette to go dancing.
The club is hot and crowded. Lady Brett Ashley arrives with a crowd of callow young men wearing jerseys.
Jake reacts with hostility to Brett's male friends. Brett states that she can "safely" get drunk around these
friends
