If she saw me out of the corner of her eyes she gave no hint of it—indeed I was almost surprised into murmuring an apology for having disturbed her by ing in. The other girl Daisy made an attempt to rise—she leaned slightly forward with a conscientious expression—then she laughed an absurd charming little laugh and I laughed too and came forward into the room. “I’m pparalyzed with happiness.” She laughed again as if she said something very witty and held my hand for a moment looking up into my face promising that there was no one in the world she so much wanted to see. That was a way she had. She hinted in a murmur that the surname of the balancing girl was Baker. I’ve heard it said that Daisy’s murmur was only to make people lean toward her an irrelevant criticism that made it no less charming. At any rate Miss Baker’s lips fluttered she nodded at me almost imperceptibly and then quickly tipped her head back again—the object she was balancing had obviously tottered a little and given her something of a fright. Again a sort of apology arose to my lips. Almost any exhibition of plete selfsufficiency draws a stunned tribute from me. I looked back at my cousin who began to ask me questions in her low thrilling voice. It was the kind of voice that the ear follows up and down as if each speech is an arrangement of notes that will never be played again. Her face was sad and lovely with bright things in it bright eyes and a bright passionate mouth but there was an excitement in her voice that men who had cared for her found difficult to forget: a singing pulsion a whispered “Listen” a promise that she had done gay exciting things just a while since and that there were gay exciting things hovering in the next hour.

All the cars have the left rear wheel painted black as a mourning wreath and there’s a persistent wail all night along the north shore.” “How gorgeous Let’s go back Tom. Tomorrow” Then she added irrelevantly: “You ought to see the baby.” “I’d like to.” “She’s asleep. She’s three years old. Haven’t you ever seen her” “Never.” “Well you ought to see her. She’s——” Tom Buchanan who had been hovering restlessly about the room stopped and rested his hand on my shoulder. “What you doing Nick” “I’m a bond man.” “Who with” I told him. “Never heard of them” he remarked decisively. This annoyed me. “You will” I answered shortly. “You will if you stay in the East.” “Oh I’ll stay in the East don’t you worry” he said glancing at Daisy and then back at me as if he were alert for something more. “I’d be a God damned fool to live anywhere else.” At this point Miss Baker said: “Absolutely” with such suddenness that I started—it was the first word she uttered since I came into the room. Evidently it surprised her as much as it did me for she yawned and with a series of rapid deft movements stood up into the room. “I’m stiff” she plained “I’ve been lying on that sofa for as long as
