“There was music from my neighbor’s house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars.” p. 43 The Great Gatsby – Chapter 3

“The bar is in full swing and floating rounds of cocktails permeate the garden outside until the air is alive with chatter and laughter…” p. 44

The Great Gatsby – Chapter 3 “On chance we tried an important-looking door, and walked into a high Gothic library, panelled with carved English oak, and probably transported complete from some ruin overseas.” p. 49

The Great Gatsby – Chapter 3 “A stout, middle-aged man with enormous owl-eyed spectacles was witting somewhat drunk on the edge of a great table, staring with unsteady concentration at the shelves of books.” p. 49

The Great Gatsby – Chapter 3 (Owl-eyes) “He waved his hands toward the book- shelves. ‘About that. As a matter of fact, they’re real.’ ‘The books?’ He nodded. ‘Absolutely real – have pages and everything. I thought they’d be a nice durable cardboard. Matter of fact they’re absolutely real.’” Why wouldn’t he think the books were real? Does he know something about Gastby? Who IS he?

The Great Gatsby – Chapter 3 “ ‘I’m Gatsby,’ he said suddenly. ‘What! I exclaimed. ‘Oh, I beg your pardon.’ ‘I thought you knew, old sport. I’m afraid I’m not a very good host.’ He smiled understandingly…. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you come across four of five times in a life.” p. 53

The Great Gatsby – Chapter 3 “Jordan Baker …. She was incurably dishonest.” “…we had a curious conversation about a car….because she passed so close to some workmen that our fender flicked a button on one man’s coat…. ‘They’ll keep out of my way,’ she insisted. ‘It takes two to make an accident.’ “Suppose you met somebody just as careless as yourself?’ ‘I hope I never will,’ she answered. ‘I hate careless people. That’s why I like you.’” p/ 63

The Great Gatsby – Chapter 3 “Everyone suspects themselves of at least one of the cardinal virtues, and this is mine: I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known.” p. 64 Nick Carraway
