What a roller coaster of a chapter

DID NOT EXPECT THE CAR CRASH

They had forgotten about me, but Daisy glanced up and held out her hand; Gatsby didn't know me now at all. I looked once more at them and they looked back at me, remotely, possessed by intense life. Then I went out of the room and down the marble steps into the rain, leaving them there together.

LIKE TELL ME THIS DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A BREAKUP

Its the way they won't let Nick leave, come on lads he doesnt wanna be your third wheel

"Tell Your chauffeur to go far away and spend an hour."
"Come back in an hour, Ferdie." Then a grave murmer, "His name is Ferdie."

Okay shes a lil cutie too

I had been actually invited. A chauffeur in a uniform of robins egg blue crossed my lawn early that Saturday morning with a surprisingly formal note from his employer- the honour would be entirely Gatsby's, it said, if I would attend his "little party" that night.

Gatsby is a cutie already

"We don't know each other very well, Nick" she said suddenly. "Even if we are cousins. You didn't come to my wedding."
"I wasn't back from war."

"I'm glad it's a girl. And I hope she'll be a fool - that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool."

These quotes being on the same page is giving me whiplash

Not even the effeminate swank of his riding clothes could hide the enormous power of that body - he seemed to fill those glistening boots until he strained the top lacing and you could see a great pack of muscle shifting when his shoulder moved under his thin coat. It was a body capable of enormous leverage - a cruel body.
