The Great Gatsby Chapter 92
She doesn't look like her father,' explained Daisy. 'She
looks like me. She's got my hair and shape of the face.'
Daisy sat back upon the couch. The nurse took a step for
-
ward and held out her hand.
'Come, Pammy.'
'Goodbye, sweetheart!'
With a reluctant backward glance the well-disciplined
child held to her nurse's hand and was pulled out the door,
just as Tom came back, preceding four gin rickeys that
clicked full of ice.
Gatsby took up his drink.
'They certainly look cool,' he said, with visible tension.
We drank in long greedy swallows.
'I read somewhere that the sun's getting hotter ev
-
ery year,' said Tom genially. 'It seems that pretty soon the
earth's going to fall into the sun--or wait a minute--it's just
the opposite--the sun's getting colder every year.
'Come outside,' he suggested to Gatsby, 'I'd like you to
have a look at the place.'
I went with them out to the veranda. On the green Sound,
stagnant in the heat, one small sail crawled slowly toward
the fresher sea. Gatsby's eyes followed it momentarily; he
raised his hand and pointed across the bay.
'I'm right across from you.'
'So you are.'
Our eyes lifted over the rosebeds and the hot lawn and
the weedy refuse of the dog days along shore. Slowly the
white wings of the boat moved against the blue cool limit of
the sky. Ahead lay the scalloped ocean and the abounding
blessed isles.
'There's sport for you,' said Tom, nodding. 'I'd like to be
out there with him for about an hour.'
We had luncheon in the dining-room, darkened, too,
against the heat, and drank down nervous gayety with the
cold ale.
'What'll we do with ourselves this afternoon,' cried Dai
-
sy, 'and the day after that, and the next thirty years?'
'Don't be morbid,' Jordan said. 'Life starts all over again
when it gets crisp in the fall.'
'But it's so hot,' insisted Daisy, on the verge of tears, 'And
everything's so confused. Let's all go to town!'
Her voice struggled on through the heat, beating against
it, moulding its senselessness into forms.
'I've heard of making a garage out of a stable,' Tom was
saying to Gatsby, 'but I'm the first man who ever made a
stable out of a garage.'
'Who wants to go to town?' demanded Daisy insistently.
Gatsby's eyes floated toward her. 'Ah,' she cried, 'you look
so cool.'
Their eyes met, and they stared together at each other,
alone in space. With an effort she glanced down at the ta
-
ble.
'You always look so cool,' she repeated.
She had told him that she loved him, and Tom Buchanan
saw. He was astounded. His mouth opened a little and he
looked at Gatsby and then back at Daisy as if he had just rec
-
ognized her as some one he knew a long time ago.
'You resemble the advertisement of the man,' she went on
