We’re now having fights with men said to be their husbands

25
Whenever he sees I’m having a nice time
He wants to go home
26
You must see
Faces of many people you have heard about
27
They arrived at midnight and strolled
Out among the sparkling hundreds
28
She wasn’t having a
Good time
29
Gleaming like silver, safe and proud above the
Hot struggles of the poor’
30
Gatsby couldn’t afford ‘regular clothes’
He had to continue wearing his army uniform
31
The colossal vitality of
His illusion
32
It had grown beyond her,
Beyond anything
33
Men and girls came and went like
Moths
34
He had thrown himself into it with a creative passion
Decking it out with every bright feather that drifted his way
35
I carry on a little business on the side
A sort of sideline, you understand
36
You dont make much
Money do you?
37
It happens to be a
Rather confidential thing
38
Is this absolutely where
You live my dearest one?
39
Standing in a puddle of water staring
Tragically into my eyes
40
His lips parted with
An abortive attempt at a laugh
41
I want you and
Daisy to come over to my house
42
It took me just three years to
Earn the money that bought it
43
Marie Antoinette music rooms and
Restoration salons
44
I think he revalued everything in his house
According to the measure of response it drew from her well-loved eyes
45
The colossal significance of that
Light had now vanished forever
46
‘I’d like get one of those pink clouds and put you
In it and push you around’
47
It was the hour of profound
Human change and the excitement was generating in the air
48
The colossal vitality of
His illusion
49
His parents were shiftless
And unsuccessful farm people
50
I reached the point of believing
Everything and nothing about him
51
Women
Run around too much these days
52
I had grown to accept west egg as a world complete in itself
With its own standards and own great figures
