10. Quotes for Chapter 4 "He looked at me sideways - and I knew why Jordan Baker had believed he was lying. He hurried the phrase 'educated at Oxford,' or swallowed it, or choked on it, as though it had bothered him before. And with this doubt, his whole statement fell to pieces, and I wondered if there wasn't something a little sinister about him, after all."

His name was Jay Gatsby…” (75) Jordan “ I came into her room half an hour before the bridal dinner, and found her lying on her bed as lovely as the June night in her flowered dress- and as drunk as a monkey.” (76) Jordan “But it wasn’t a coincidence at all…Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay.” (78) Jordan
