The Great Gatsby
Before I could answer her eyes fastened with an awed expression on her little finger.
“Look!’ she complained. I hurt it.” We all looked like the knuckle was black and blue.
“You did it, Tom,’ she said accusingly. ‘I know you didn’t mean to but you DID do it. That’s what I get for marrying a brute of a man, a great big hulking physical specimen.
I hate that word hulking, objected Tom crossly, even in kidding. Hulking, insisted Daisy.
Sometimes she and Miss Baker talked at once, unobtrusively and with a bantering inconsequence that was never quite a chatter, that was as cool as their white dresses and their impersonal eyes in the absence of all desire.
They were here-and they accepted Tom and me, making only a polite pleasant effort to entertain or to be entertained.
They knew that presently dinner would be over and a little later the evening too would be over and casually put away.
It was sharply different from the West where an evening was hurried from phase to phase toward its close in continually disappointed anticipation or else in sheer nervous dread of the moment itself.
“You make me feel uncivilized, Daisy, I confessed on my second glass of corky but rather impressive claret. “Can’t you talk about crops or something?”
I meant nothing in particular by this remark but it was taken up in an unexpected way. Civilization’s going to pieces broke out Tom violently.
I’ve gotten to be a terrible pessimist about things. Have you read “The Rise of the Coloured Empires’ by this man God dard?’
“Why, no, I answered, rather surprised by his tone. “Well, it’s a fine book, and everybody ought to read it.
The idea is if we don’t look out the white race will be utterly submerged.
It’s all scientific stuff; it’s been proved! “Tom’s getting very profound said Daisy with an expression of unthoughtful sadness.
And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees—just as things grow in fast movies—I
had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.
There was so much to read for one thing and so much fine health to be pulled down out of the young breath-giving air.
I bought a dozen volumes on banking and credit and investment securities and they stood on my shelf in red and
gold like new money from the mint, promising to unfold the shining secrets that only Midas and Morgan and Maecenas knew.
And I had the high intention of reading many other books besides.
I was rather literary in college—one year I wrote a series of very solemn and obvious editorials for the ‘Yale News’—and now I was going to bring back all such things into my life and become again that most limited of all specialists, the ‘well-rounded man.’
This isn’t just an epigram—life is much more successfully looked at from a single window, after all.
