1 Evidently she had reason to be.
2 "You did it, Tom," she said accusingly.
3 "You live in West Egg," she remarked contemptuously.
4 "We don't know each other very well, Nick," she said suddenly.
5 "I'll tell you a family secret," she whispered enthusiastically.
6 Then suddenly she threw her napkin on the table and excused herself and went into the house.
7 "We ought to plan something," yawned Miss Baker, sitting down at the table as if she were getting into bed.
8 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.
9 I am, and you are and you are and---- After an infinitesimal hesitation he included Daisy with a slight nod and she winked at me again.
10 She was a slender, small-breasted girl, with an erect carriage which she accentuated by throwing her body backward at the shoulders like a young cadet.
11 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 coming in.
12 She was extended full length at her end of the divan, completely motionless and with her chin raised a little as if she were balancing something on it which was quite likely to fall.
13 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.
14 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.
15 Sometimes she and Miss Baker talked at once, unobtrusively and with a bantering inconsequence that was never quite chatter, that was as cool as their white dresses and their impersonal eyes in the absence of all desire.
16 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.
17 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 compulsion, 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.
