1 By six o'clock Michaelis was worn out and grateful for the sound of a car stopping outside.
2 I had to follow the sound of it for a moment, up and down, with my ear alone before any words came through.
3 But evidently the sound of it pleased Gatsby for Tom remained "the polo player" for the rest of the evening.
4 He sat down, miserably, as if I had pushed him, and simultaneously there was the sound of a motor turning into my lane.
5 As we started through the gate into the cemetery I heard a car stop and then the sound of someone splashing after us over the soggy ground.
6 Through the hall of the Buchanans' house blew a faint wind, carrying the sound of the telephone bell out to Gatsby and me as we waited at the door.
