El Gran Gatsby
Capítulo 1, Página 20
“I
suppose
she
talks,
and—eats,
and
everything.”
“Oh,
yes.”
She
looked
at
me
absently.
“Listen,
Nick;
let
me
tell
you
what
I
said
when
she
was
born.
Do
you
want
to
hear?”
“Very
much.”
“It’ll
show
you
how
I
feel
about
things.
Well,
she
was
less
than
an
hour
old
and
Tom
was
God
knows
where.
I
woke
up
from
the
ether
feeling
completely
abandoned,
and
I
asked
the
nurse
if
it
was
a
boy
or
a
girl.
She
told
me
it
was
a
girl,
and
I
turned
my
head
away
and
cried.
‘All
right,’
I
said,
‘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.’”
“You
see,
I
think
everything’s
terrible
anyway,”
she
continued
convincingly.
“Everyone
thinks
so—the
most
advanced
people.
And
I
know.
I’ve
been
everywhere
and
seen
everything
and
done
everything.”
Her
eyes
flashed
around
defiantly,
like
Tom’s,
and
she
laughed
with
thrilling
scorn.
“Sophisticated—God,
I’m
sophisticated!”
As
soon
as
her
voice
stopped,
no
longer
demanding
my
attention
and
belief,
I
felt
the
basic
insincerity
of
what
she
had
said.
It
made
me
uneasy,
as
if
the
whole
evening
had
been
a
trick
to
get
some
reaction
from
me.
I
waited,
and
sure
enough,
she
looked
at
me
with
a
smirk
on
her
lovely
face,
as
if
she
had
confirmed
her
place
in
a
special
group
she
and
Tom
belonged
to.
