| Current Search - wife in The Great Gatsby |
1 He was his wife's man and not his own.
2 "Your wife doesn't love you," said Gatsby.
3 It's really his wife that's keeping them apart.
4 His wife was shrill, languid, handsome and horrible.
5 "I know your wife," continued Gatsby, almost aggressively.
6 He got up, his eyes still flashing between Gatsby and his wife.
7 "I've got my wife locked in up there," explained Wilson calmly.
8 Earl Muldoon, brother to that Muldoon who afterward strangled his wife.
9 I suppose the latest thing is to sit back and let Mr. Nobody from Nowhere make love to your wife.
10 His wife and his mistress, until an hour ago secure and inviolate, were slipping precipitately from his control.
11 This was a forlorn hope--he was almost sure that Wilson had no friend: there was not enough of him for his wife.
12 Michaelis didn't see anything odd in that and he gave Wilson a dozen reasons why his wife might have bought the dog leash.
13 A white ashen dust veiled his dark suit and his pale hair as it veiled everything in the vicinity--except his wife, who moved close to Tom.
14 He announced that he had a way of finding out whom the yellow car belonged to, and then he blurted out that a couple of months ago his wife had come from the city with her face bruised and her nose swollen.
15 When Michaelis's testimony at the inquest brought to light Wilson's suspicions of his wife I thought the whole tale would shortly be served up in racy pasquinade--but Catherine, who might have said anything, didn't say a word.
16 Her expression was curiously familiar--it was an expression I had often seen on women's faces but on Myrtle Wilson's face it seemed purposeless and inexplicable until I realized that her eyes, wide with jealous terror, were fixed not on Tom, but on Jordan Baker, whom she took to be his wife.
17 When he had gone half way he turned around and stared at the scene--his wife and Catherine scolding and consoling as they stumbled here and there among the crowded furniture with articles of aid, and the despairing figure on the couch bleeding fluently and trying to spread a copy of "Town Tattle" over the tapestry scenes of Versailles.
