1 He opened the door but she moved out from the circle of his arm.
2 I started to turn away but he took a step after me and grabbed my arm.
3 Then he sat down, rigidly, his elbow on the arm of the sofa and his chin in his hand.
4 Daisy put her arm through his abruptly but he seemed absorbed in what he had just said.
5 Now and then she moved and he changed his arm a little and once he kissed her dark shining hair.
6 With Jordan's slender golden arm resting in mine we descended the steps and sauntered about the garden.
7 When she moved about there was an incessant clicking as innumerable pottery bracelets jingled up and down upon her arms.

16 I picked it up with a weary bend and handed it back to her, holding it at arm's length and by the extreme tip of the corners to indicate that I had no designs upon it--but every one near by, including the woman, suspected me just the same.
17 When the "Jazz History of the World" was over girls were putting their heads on men's shoulders in a puppyish, convivial way, girls were swooning backward playfully into men's arms, even into groups knowing that some one would arrest their falls--but no one swooned backward on Gatsby and no French bob touched Gatsby's shoulder and no singing quartets were formed with Gatsby's head for one link.
