In the first chapter, the character of Esther is introduced. Esther is a college student working in New York as an editor for a magazine. Here, Esther worries too much, it seems. She does not seem to enjoy all of the luxurious clothing, parties and free trips, and in the very beginning of the chapter, she worries about the electrocution of the Rosenburgs. In New York, Esther stays at an all girls hotel named the Amazon with eleven other girls. Her main companion seems to be Doreen, a beautiful and carefree, young woman. When Betsey, another girl who stays at the Amazon with them, comes and asks Esther if she wants share a cab with her and she declines because Doreen tells her to. They then take a cab together and while Doreen and Esther are stuck in traffic, a man named Lenny convinces them to get out of the cab and have a couple of drinks with him and his friends. Doreen and Esther accept and soon Doreen and Lenny are flirting while Frankie is attempting to occupy Esther. Esther ignores him for the fact that he is extremely short and she hovers over him like a giant. Frankie leaves, noticing that he is there for no reason. Esther lies and says her name is Elly begins to order random drinks, hoping to find one that she likes. Soon, Doreen and "Elly" leave with Lenny. Well, that's how far I've gotten so far so...Bye :)
