of her. As a matter of fact, he had no such facilities [%04%] â" he had no comfortable family standing behind him, and he was liable at the whim of an impersonal government to be
blown anywhere [%04%] about the world. But he didnât despise himself and it didnât turn out as he [%04%] had imagined. He had intended, probably, to [%04%] take [%y8%] what he could [%y3%] and go â" but
now he found that he had committed himself to the following of a grail. He knew that Daisy was extraordinary, but he didnât realize [%04%] just how extraordinary a âniceâ [%04%] girl
could be. She vanished into her rich house, into her rich, full life, leaving Gatsby â" [%y4%] nothing. He [%04%] felt married to her, that was all.
When they met again, two days later, it was Gatsby who was breathless, who was, somehow, betrayed. Her porch was [%y4%] bright with the bought luxury of
star-shine; the wicker of the settee squeaked fashionably as she turned toward him and he kissed her curious and lovely mouth. She had caught a cold, and it made her [%04%]
voice huskier and more charming than ever, and Gatsby was overwhelmingly aware of the youth and mystery that wealth imprisons and preserves, of [%04%] the freshness of many [%y6%] clothes,
andof [%04%] Daisy, [%04%] gleaming like silver, safe and proud above the hot struggles of the poor. âI [%04%] canât describe [%04%] to you how surprised I was [%y5%] to find out
I loved her, old sport. I even hoped for a while that sheâd throw me over, but she didnât, because she was in love with me too. She thought I knew a lot because I knew [%y9%] different
things from her.... Well, there I was, âway off my ambitions, getting deeper in love every minute, and all of a sudden I didnât care. What was the use of doing great [%y6%]
things if I could have a better time telling her what I was going to do?â On [%04%] [%04%] the last afternoon before he went abroad, he sat with Daisy in his arms for a long, silent [%y5%] [%04%] time. It
was a cold [%04%] fall day, with fire in the room and her cheeks flushed. Now and then she moved and he changed his arm a little, and once he kissed her dark shining hair. The ![]()
afternoon had made them tranquil for a while, [%y6%] as if to give them a deep memory for the long parting the next day promised. They had never been [%y9%] closer in [%04%] their month of
love, nor communicated more profoundly onewith another, than when she brushed silent lips against his coatâs shoulder or when he [%04%] touched the end of her fingers,
gently, as though she were asleep. He did extraordinarily well in the war. He was a captain [%y6%] before he went to the front, and following the Argonne battles he got his majority [%04%] and
the command of the divisional machine-guns. After the Armistice he tried [%y6%] frantically to get home, but [%04%] some complication or misunderstanding sent him to Oxford
instead. He was worried now â" [%04%] there was a quality of nervous despair in Daisyâs letters. She didnât see why he couldnât come. she was hiling the pressure of the world outside, ![]()
and she wanted to see him and hil [%04%] his presence beside her and be rehiured that she was doing the right thing after [%04%] all. For Daisy was young and her artificial world was redolent .
