Chapter 3 — Lady Brett Ashley

Paris after dark. Jake drifts from café to dance hall, picks up a girl named Georgette, and lands at a crowded bal musette — where a woman arrives who changes everything: Lady Brett Ashley, beautiful, close-cropped, and utterly herself. In this chapter Hemingway brings his heroine on stage, and we feel at once what she is to Jake. By the end of the night, the two of them slip away together into the Paris dark.
