El Gran Gatsby
Capítulo 1, Página 25
“I
forgot
to
ask
you
something
important.
We
heard
you
were
engaged
to
a
girl
out
West.”
“That’s
right,”
Tom
added
kindly.
“We
heard
that
you
were
engaged.”
“It’s
not
true.
I’m
too
poor.”
“But
we
heard
it,”
insisted
Daisy,
surprising
me
by
opening
up
again
in
a
flower-like
way.
“We
heard
it
from
three
people,
so
it
must
be
true.”
Of
course,
I
knew
what
they
meant,
but
I
wasn’t
even
vaguely
engaged.
The
fact
that
gossip
had
spread
was
one
of
the
reasons
I
had
come
East.
You
can’t
stop
seeing
an
old
friend
because
of
rumors,
and
I
had
no
intention
of
being
forced
into
marriage
by
them.
Their
interest
touched
me
and
made
them
seem
less
distant
and
rich—nevertheless,
I
was
confused
and
a
little
disgusted
as
I
drove
away.
It
seemed
to
me
that
Daisy
should
rush
out
of
the
house,
child
in
arms—but
apparently,
she
had
no
such
plans.
As
for
Tom,
the
fact
that
he
“had
some
woman
in
New
York”
was
less
surprising
than
that
he
had
been
upset
by
a
book.
Something
was
making
him
nibble
at
the
edge
of
stale
ideas
as
if
his
strong
physical
ego
no
longer
satisfied
his
demanding
heart.
