First post chapter 8-9 and 10

In the chapter 8-9 and 10 we learn about Houlden's personality. In this chapter he is talking to a girl on te phont and meet three others girls in a bar and dance with them. Houlden is the kind of guys who show more then they should. Me i think it's a way to hide for poeple dont judge you on what you are. In the chapter 9 we can see it when he say "i made my voice quite deep so that she wouldn't suspect my age" (p.64) that means that he try to see her but doesn't want her to judge him before said yes. I think that it's easier to do it because he is on the phone so she doesn't know how is he and of cours his age.
In the chapter 10 i meet thos three girls at a bar. He make a lot of critiques about them and about how do they dance. he give them names for difference them. I think this is really rude cause he'll hiden himself on the phone but he doesn't care to judge and be mean with other poeple like if he is higher then poeple.
