snobbishly suggested and I snobbishly repeat
...
” (Page 8)
“Only Gatsby, the man who gives his name to this book, was exempt from my reaction

” (Page 8) He described him as having “a
romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which is not likely I
shall ever find again
...
” (Page 8) And how his grandfather’s brother “started the wholesale
hardware business that my father carries on today

...
” (Page 9) He says “It was lonely for a day or so
...
” (Page 10)

He speaks about where he’s staying “a pair of enormous eggs, identical in contour and
separated only by a courtesy bay
...
” (Page 10) It was “the less fashionable of
the two
...
It was Gatsby’s
mansion
...
” (Page 11)
“I drove over there to have dinner with the Tom Buchanan’s
...
” (Page 11) Tom’s “family were enormously
wealthy
...
”
(Page 11)
“I felt that Tom would drift on forever seeking, a little wistfully, for the dramatic turbulence
of some irrecoverable football game
...
” (Page 12) He described their house as “even more
elaborate than I expected, a cheerful red-and-white Georgian Colonial mansion
...
” (Page 12)
“Two shining arrogant eyes had established dominance over his face
...
” (Page 12) You could see “a great pack of muscle shifting when his shoulder moved
under his thin coat

“I’ve got a nice place here
...
” (Page 13) There were two young women “both in white, and
their dresses were rippling and fluttering
...
” (Page 14) Daisy “leaned slightly forward with a conscientious expression
...
” (Page 14) She went up to Nick
“promising that there was no one in the world she so much wanted to see
...
” (Page 14) Nick thought “a sort of apology arose to my lips
...
”
(Page 14) There was “an excitement in her voice that men who had cared for her found
difficult to forget
...
” (Page 15)
“ ‘Do they miss me?’ she cried ecstatically
...
” (Page 15)
Nick and Tom talked about the bond business “Oh, I’ll stay in the East
...
” (Page 15)

” (Page 16) Daisy asked “What do people
plan?” (Page 17) Daisy shows off her bruised knuckle “That’s what I get for marrying a brute
of a man
...
” (Page 17)
Tom spoke up “Have you read The Rise of the Coloured Empires
...

proved
...
” (Page 18) Jordan
started speaking “Tom interrupted her by shifting heavily in his chair
...
”(Page 18) Daisy said “Do you want to hear about the butler’s
nose?” (Page 19) She said “he used to be the silver polisher for some people in New York
...
” (Page 19)
“Miss Baker leaned forward unashamed
...
” (Page 20) And “She might have the decency not to telephone him at
dinner time
...
Daisy said “There’s a bird on the lawn that I think must be a
nightingale come over on the Cunard or white star line
...
” (Page 20) Nick “followed Daisy
around a chain of connecting verandas to the porch in front
...
” (Page 21) Daisy says to him “You didn’t come to my
wedding

Daisy spoke about when her daughter was born “She told me it was a girl and so I turned my
head away and wept
...
And I hope she’ll be a fool –
that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool
...
” (Page 22)
They were in the “crimson room bloomed with light
...
” (Page 23)
Daisy says “I think I’ll arrange a marriage
...
”
(Page 23) And “lock you up accidentally in linen closets and push you out to sea in a boat

When Nick went to leave Daisy stopped him “We heard you were engaged to a girl out
West
...
” (Page 24)
He said “I had no mention of being rumoured into marriage
...
” (Page 24) Concerning
the subject of Tom’s mistress, Nick found it “less surprising than that he had been depressed
by a book
...
” (Page 25) It “was Mr Gatsby himself
...
” (Page 25)
“He was trembling
...
” (Page 25)
He “looked once more for Gatsby he had vanished, and I was alone again in the unquiet
darkness
...
Nick gives a description of the Valley of
Ashes “a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque
gardens; where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys
...
” (Page 26) The
ash-grey men “swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable clouds, which
screens their obscure operations from your sight
...
J Eckleburg
...
”
(page 26) There was “a pair of enormous yellow spectacles which pass over a non-existent
nose
...
” (Page 26)
“The passengers on waiting trains can stare at the dismal scene for as long as half an hour
...
” (Page
27) Tom “jumped to his feet and, taking hold of my elbow, literally forced me from the car
...
” (Page 27) And Nick “had nothing better to do
...
” (Page 27)
They went to a garage “The interior was unprosperous and bare;” (Page 27) and the only car
inside was a “dust-covered wreck of a Ford
...

“The thickish figure of a woman blocked out the light from the door
...
” (Page 28) She walked “through her husband to get some chairs and “agreed
Wilson hurriedly
...
” (Page 28) She “nodded
and moved away from him just as George Wilson emerged with two chairs from his office
door
...
He’s so dumb he doesn’t know he’s alive
...
” (Page 29)
She “let four taxicabs drive away before she selected a new one
...
” (Page 29) There was a man with “a basket swung from his
neck cowered with a dozen very recent puppies of an indeterminate breed

out of the can “Mrs Wilson gathered up her dog and her other purchases, and went
haughtily in
...
” (Page 31)

...
” (Page 32) Her sister Catherine’s efforts of
nature toward the restoration of the old alignment gave a blurred air to her face
...
” (Page 32)

...
” (Page 32/3)
Myrtle emerged in a new dress “With the influence of the dress her personality had also
undergone a change
...
”
(Page 33) She spoke to her sister in a “high, menacing shout

All they think of is money

rejected the compliment by raising her eyebrows in disdain

” (Page 33)
“Tom Buchanan yawned audibly and got to his feet
...
” (Page 34) She said “These people” You have to keep after
them all the time

He says “I’ve done some nice things out on Long Island
...
” (Page 34)
Catherine talks to Nick “I was down there at a party about a month ago
...
” (Page 34) She said “they say he’s a nephew or a cousin of Kaiser Wilhelm’s
...
” (Page 35) Catherine says “Neither of them can stand the
person they’re married to
...
” (Page 35)
She tells Nick “It’s really his wife that’s keeping them apart
...
” (Page 36) Nick knew “Daisy was not a Catholic, and I was a little shocked
at the elaborateness of the lie
...
” (Page 37) And follows it
up with “he wasn’t fit to lick my shoe
...
He borrowed somebody’s best suit to get married in
...
” (Page 37)

“Yet high over the city our line of yellow windows must have contributed their share of
human secrecy to the casual watcher in the darkening streets

...
” (Page 38)

“Some time toward midnight Tom Buchanan and Mrs Wilson stood face to face discussing, in
impassioned voices
...
” (Page 39)
Nick left and later found himself “waiting for the four o’clock train
...
” (Page 41) The guests were seem “taking the sun on the hot
sound of his beach
...
”
(Page 41) Before his parties “crates or oranges and lemons,” (Page 41) were brought to his
house “By seven o’clock the orchestra has arrived
...
” (Page 42)
There were “enthusiastic meetings between women who never knew each other’s names
...
” (Page 42) A woman “dances out alone on the canvas platform
...
” (Page 43) The guests
“conducted themselves to the rules of behaviour associated with an amusement park
...
” (Page 43) It was “signed Jay Gatsby, in a majestic hand
...
” (Page 43)
Nick tried to track down Gatsby, but whomever he asked “denied so vehemently any
knowledge of his movements
...
” (Page 44) He saw the
“two girls in twin yellow dresses,” (Page 44) again
...
” (Page 44) They joined some people at a
table “When I was here last I tore my gown on a chair, and he asked me my name and
address – inside of a week I got a package from Croirier’s with a new evening gown in it

...
” (Page 48) A man asked Nick “Weren’t you in the First
Division during the war?” (Page 48) He tells him that he just brought a hydroplane “Want to
go with me, old sport?” (Page 48)
“I’m Gatsby
...
” (Page 49) He smiled at Nick “It
was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it
...
” (Page
49)
Nick spoke to Jordan “he told me once he was an Oxford man
...
” (Page 50) Nick says “I would have accepted without question
the information that Gatsby sprang from the swamps of Louisiana or from the lower East
side of New York
...
” (Page 50)
Jordan said “At small parties there isn’t any privacy
...
” (Page 51)
A butler went up to Jordan “Mr Gatsby would like to speak to you alone
...
” (Page 51)
“One of the girls in yellow was playing the piano, and beside her stood a tall, red-haired
young lady from a famous chorus, engaged in song
...
” (Page
52)
“As I waited for my hat in the hall the door of the library opened and Jordan Baker and
Gatsby came out together
...
” (Page 53) She said “But I swore I wouldn’t tell it
...
” (Page 54) Nick
left and “Fifty feet from the door a dozen headlights illuminated a bizarre and tumultuous
scene
...
” (Page 54) Then “a pale, dangling individual stepped out of the ground with a large
uncertain dancing shoe
...
” (Page 56)
Nick describes these events as “casual events in a crowded summer
...
” (Page 57)

...
” (Page 57)

“Jordan Baker instinctively avoided clever, shrewd men
...
” (Page 58) She was driving with Nick one day “Suppose you met
somebody just as careless as yourself
...
That’s why
I like you
...
” (Page 59) He concluded the chapter with “I am one of
the few honest people that I have ever known
...
” (Page 60)
Nick wrote down names of people who attended Gatsby’s house “I can still read the grey
names
...
” (Page 61)
“Gatsby’s gorgeous car lurched up the rocky drive to my door and gave out a burst of
melody from its three-noted horn
...
”
(Page 62) Nick noticed “He was never quite still
...
” (Page 63) He had “become simply the proprietor
of an elaborate road-house next door
...
” (Page 63) He
said “I’ll tell you God’s truth
...
” (Page 64) And he was “educated at Oxford
...
” (Page
64) When he said Oxford he “swallowed it, or choked on it, as though it had bothered him
before
...
” (Page 64)
“For a moment I suspected that he was pulling my leg, but a glance at him convinced me
otherwise
...
” (Page 64)
“Then came the war, old sport
...
” (Page 64)
“My incredulity was submerged in fascination now;” (Page 65) He gave Nick something “It
was a photograph of half a dozen young men in blazers
...
” (Page 65)
He told Nick “I’m going to make a big request of you today
...
” (Page 66) Nick was annoyed “I hadn’t asked Jordan to tea in order to
discuss Mr Jay Gatsby
...
”
(Page 66) Gatsby took “a white card from his wallet, he waved it before the man’s eyes
...
”
(Page 67)
“The city seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city seen for the first time, in its
first wild promise of all the mystery and the beauty in the world
...
” (Page
67)
They went to lunch “this is my friend Mr Wolfshiem
...
Filled with friends gone now forever
...
” (Page 69) He says to Nick “I understand you’re looking for a business gonnetion
...
” (Page 69) Mr Wolfshiem forgot “the more sentimental
atmosphere of the old Metropole, began to eat with ferocious delicacy
...
” (Page 70)
Wolfsheim told Nick Gatsby had to telephone
...
” (Page 70) He said “Gatsby’s
very careful about women
...
” (Page 70)
Wolfsheim makes his excuses to leave “I belong to another generation
...
” (Page 71)
Nick “caught sight of Tom Buchanan
...
” (Page 72) He “turned toward
Mr Gatsby, but he was no longer there
...
” (Page 73) And “all day
long the telephone rang in her house and excited young officers from Camp Taylor
...
” (Page 73) She said “His name was Jay Gatsby, and I didn’t lay eyes
on him again for over four years
...
”
(Page 73)
“Wild rumours were circulating about her
...
” (Page 74) This was Tom “the day before the wedding
he gave her a string of pearls valued at three hundred and fifty thousand dollars
...
” (Page 74) She said “Tell ‘em all Daisy’s change’ her mine
...
” (Page 74) Half an hour later “the pearls were around her
neck and the incident was over
...
” (Page 75) She would be “looking at him with unfathomable
delight
...
” (Page 75) They “moved with a fast crow, all of them
young and rich and wild, but she came out with an absolutely perfect reputation
...
” (Page 76)
“Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay
...
” (Page 70) She said
“I think he half expected her to wonder into one of his parties, some night
...
” (Page 77)
“I put my arm around Jordan’s golden shoulder and drew her toward me and asked her to
dinner
...
” (Page 78)
“We passed a barrier of dark trees, and then the façade of Fifty-ninth street, a block of
delicate pale light, beamed down into the park
...
” (Page 79) It was “Gatsby’s house,
lit from tower to cellar
...
”

“You don’t make much money, do you?” (Page 80) He told Nick “I carry on a little business
on the side
...
” (Page
80) Nick said he couldn’t take on any more work “he thought that I was shying away from
the ‘gonnegtion’ mentioned at lunch
...
” (Page 81)
Nick called Daisy “Don’t bring Tom
...
” (Page 81) A man arrived the next day and “said that Mr Gatsby had sent him
over to cut my grass
...
” (Page 81)
There were “dark signs of sleeplessness beneath his eyes
...
” (Page 82)
Gatsby “informed me, in an uncertain voice, that he was going home
...

When Daisy arrived, Nick invited her in “To my overwhelming surprise the living-room was
deserted
...
I went out
and opened it
...
” (Page 83)
“For half a minute there wasn’t a sound
...
” (Page 83) Gatsby muttered “We’ve met before
...
” (Page 84) Daisy said “Five years next November
...
” (Page
84)
Nick left the room and Gatsby followed “This is a terrible mistake
...
” (Page 85) And he rushed back to her
...
” (Page 86)
Gatsby said “I want you to ask Daisy to come over to my house
...
” (Page 87) Nick said “I thought
you inherited your money
...
” (Page 87)
“I keep it always full of interesting people, night and day
...
” (Page 88) They went around Gatsby’s mansion
“He hadn’t once ceased looking at Daisy
...
” (Page 88) His bedroom was the simplest
room “garnished with a toilet set of pure dull gold
...
” (Page 89) He “took out a pile of shirts and
began throwing them
...
” (Page 89) She said “it makes
me sad because I’ve never seen-such beautiful shirts before
...
” (Page 90) Nick saw “A large photograph of an elderly man
...

Nick tried to leave “perhaps my presence made them feel more satisfactorily alone
...
” (Page 92) There



was “No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man can store up in his ghostly
heart
...
” (Page 93) He “went out of the room and down the
marble steps into the rain, leaving them there together
...
” (Page 94) There had been “Contemporary legends such as
the ‘underground pipe-line to Canada’ attached themselves to him
...
” (Page 94)
“James Gatz-that was really, or at least legally, his name
...
”
(Page 94) Gatsby “informed Cody that a wind might catch him and break him up in half an
hour
...
” (Page 95) His “parents were shiftless
and unsuccessful farm people-his imagination had never really accepted them as his parents
at all
...
” (Page 95) For “over a year he had been beating his way along the
south shore of Lake Superior as a clam-digger and a salmon-fisher or in any capacity that
brought him food and bed
...
” (Page 95) He had “An instinct toward his
future glory had led him, some months before, to the small Lutheran College of St Olaf’s in
southern Minnesota
...
” (Page 96)
“He had been coasting along all too hospitable shores for five years when he turned up as
James Gatz’s destiny in Little Girl Bay
...
” (Page 96)
“The arrangement lasted five years, during which the boat went there three times around
the continent
...
” (Page
97) He had “a hard, empty face
...
He
didn’t get it
...
” (Page 97)
“He told me all this very much later
...
” (Page 98) He went to Gatsby’s house “I hadn’t been there
two minutes when somebody brought Tom Buchanan in for a drink
...
” (Page 98)
Gatsby and Tom spoke “ ‘I know your wife,’ continued Gatsby, almost aggressively
...
” (Page 99) Tom said “I wonder where in the devil he
met Daisy
...
They meet
all kinds of crazy fish
...
” (Page 100) Nick says
“it stands out in my memory from Gatsby’s other parties that summer
...
” (Page 100)
“I was looking at it again, through Daisy’s eyes
...
” (Page 101) Tom said “I was just thinking I don’t
know a soul here
...
” (Page 102) Nick “had never seen him dance before
...
” (Page 102)
“I knew that except for the half-hour she’d been alone with Gatsby she wasn’t having a good
time
...
” (Page 103)
“She was appalled by West Egg
...
” (Page 103) Tom said “he certainly must have strained himself to
get this menagerie together
...
They simply force their way in and he’s too polite to object
...
She and Tom left “Perhaps some unbelievable guest would arrive, a
person indefinitely rare and to be marvelled at
...
” (Page 105) He said “She didn’t like it
...
”(Page 106) He said “I’m going to
fix everything just the way it was before
...
” (Page 107)
“At his lips’ touch she blossomed for him like a flower
...
” (Page 108) His butler “informed
me that Gatsby had dismissed every servant in his house a week ago and replaced them with
half a dozen others
...
” (Page 109)
“The straw seats of the car hovered on the edge of combustion
...
” (Page 110) Gatsby
“stood in the centre of the crimson carpet and gazed around with fascinated eyes
...
” (Page 111) She said “You know I love you
...
Gatsby “kept looking at the child with surprise
...
” (Page 111)
“With a reluctant backward glance the well-disciplined child held to her nurse’s hand and
was pulled out the door
...
” (Page 112)
“ ‘What’ll we do with ourselves this afternoon?’ cried Daisy, ‘and the day after that, and the
next thirty years?’ “ (Page 113) She said “Let’s all go to town
...
” (Page 113)
Tom “looked at Gatsby, and then back at Daisy as if he had just recognized her as someone
he knew a long time ago
...
Tom said “I don’t
see the idea of going to town
...
” (Page 115) Tom says “you take my coupé and let me
drive your car to town
...
” (Page
115)

Tom said “You think I’m pretty dumb, don’t you?” (Page 116) And “I’d been making a small
investigation of his past
...
” (Page 116)
“Doctor T
...
Eckleburg’s faded eyes came into sight down the road
...
” (Page 117) About Gatsby’s car
...
” (Page 118) And “She’s been talking about it for ten
years
...
”
(Page 118) Tom tells Wilson that he’ll let him have the car he wanted “Over the ashheaps
the giant eyes of Doctor T
...
Eckleburg kept their vigil, but I perceived, after a moment, that
other eyes were regarding us with peculiar intensity from less than twenty feet away
...
” (Page 119) Nick “realized that her eyes, wide
with jealous terror, were fixed not on Tom, but on Jordan Backer, whom she took to be his
wife
...
His wife and his mistress, until an hour ago secure
and inviolate, were slipping precipitately from his control
...
” (Page 120)
They rented a room “Open another window
...
” (Page 120)
Tom asked Gatsby why he called people old sport “Where’d you pick that up?” (Page 121)
Jordan spoke about an unknown man who attended the Buchanan’s wedding and fainted
“he stayed three weeks, until Daddy told him he had to get out
...
” (Page 121) She said “He gave me an aluminium putter that I use today
...
” (Page 122) Gatsby said he could not call
himself an Oxford man “I only stayed five months
...
” (Page 123)
“What kind of a row are you trying to cause in my house anyhow
...
” (Page 123/4) And “next they’ll throw
everything overboard and have intermarriage between black and white
...
” (Page 124) And “she’s never loved you
...
” (Page 124) And “in her heart she never loved anyone except me!” (Page 124) Tom said
“Daisy loved me when she married me and she loves me now
...
” (Page
125)
“Oh, you want too much!” (Page 126) Daisy shouted at Gatsby “I did love him once- but I
loved you too
...
” (Page 126)
Tom says to Gatsby “Certainly not for a common swindler who’s have to steal the ring he put
on her finger
...
” (Page 127) Nick “glanced at
Daisy, who was staring terrified between Gatsby and her husband
...
” (Page 128)
“I just remembered that today’s my birthday
...
” (Page 129) So “we drove on toward
death through the cooling twilight

“The ‘death car’ as the newspapers called it, didn’t stop; it came out of the gathering
darkness
...
” (Page 131) Tom
pulled up at Wilson’s garage “with his back to us, was bending over it, motionless
...
” (Page 133)
Tom says “That yellow car I was driving this afternoon wasn’t mine
...
” (Page 134) When he drove them away “tears
were overflowing down his face
...
” (Page 135) Jordan asked him to go in
“I’d be damned to go in; I’d had enough of all of them for one day, and suddenly that
included Jordan too
...
” (Page 136) He “spoke as if Daisy’s
reaction was the only thing that mattered
...
”
(Page 136) He told Nick Daisy was driving “of course I’ll say I was
...
” (Page 137)
“I’m just going to wait here and see if he tries to bother her about that unpleasantness this
afternoon
...
” (Page 138) He could tell “They weren’t happy
...
” (Page 139) He was “watching over nothing
...
” (Page 140)

house “he had never been in such a beautiful house before
...
” (Page 141)
“He let her believe that he was a person from much the same strata as herself

” (Page 142) On “the last afternoon before he went abroad, he
sat with Daisy in his arms for a long, silent time
...
” (Page 143) When he couldn’t return
home “She didn’t see why he couldn’t come

When Nick was at work Jordan called “Usually her voice came over the wire as something
fresh and cool

newspaper men in and out of Gatsby’s front door
...
” (Page 155)
“Catherine, who might have said anything, didn’t say a word
...
” (Page
155)
Nick found “no one else was interested
...
” (Page 156) But “she and Tom had gone away
...
” (Page 156) He said “never told me definitely that his
parents were dead
...
” (Page 157)
Mr Wolfsheim wrote a letter to Nick “Let me know about the funeral etc do not know his
family at all
...
Gatz arrived
...
” (Page 158)
“Where have they got Jimmy
...
” (Page 159) His eyes were “leaking isolated and unpunctual
tears
...
” (Page 159) When he
looked around his son’s home
...
” (Page 160) He “lay down stiffly-was instantly
asleep
...
Nick asked if he’d attend the funeral “I’ll certainly
try
...
” (Page 160)
“The morning of the funeral I went up to New York to see Meyer Wolfshiem
...
” (Page 161) After he said it was about
Gatsby he was let through “remarking in a reverent voice that it was a sad time for all of us
...
” (Page 162) He said “I raised him up out of nothing, right out of the gutter
...
”
(Page 163)
“Let us learn to show our friendship for a man when he is alive and not after he is dead

” (Page 165) He had not seen him since then “I don’t
know how he knew about the funeral
...
” (Page 165) Nick reminisced a memory “When we
pulled out into the winter night and the real snow,” (Page 166) Nick says “I see now that this
has been a story of the West
...
” (Page 167) Nick says “After
Gatsby’s death the East was haunted for me
...
” (Page
168) She said “she was engaged to another man
...
” (Page 168) Then “Angry, and half in love with her, and tremendously sorry, I
turned away
...
” (Page 169) Nick asked “what did you
say to Wilson that afternoon?” (Page 169) Tom said “I told him the truth
...
” (Page 169) He said
when he went to give up Myrtle’s flat “I sat down and cried like a baby
...
” (Page 170) Tom and Daisy were careless “they smashed
up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness,
or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they
had made
...
” (Page 170) When he walked in “I could
still hear the music and the laughter
...
” (Page 171)
“I thought of Gatsby’s wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy’s
