I don't think "give her the time" in _Catcher in the Rye_ (c. 1945,

hence, too early for this study) meant intercourse. I think it was related

to the expression "to make time with" which was closer in meaning to

"make out" than "go all the way". I have the book here. It will take me

a little time to find the passage. If it was used with "old Sally",

there's no way he meant the more extreme of the two definitions.
