El Gran Gatsby
Capítulo 6, Página 3
He
worked
in
various
roles
with
Cody,
acting
as
steward,
mate,
and
even
jailor.
Cody
trusted
Gatsby
because
he
knew
what
he
might
do
when
drunk.
This
arrangement
lasted
five
years,
with
the
yacht
traveling
around
the
continent.
It
might
have
continued
if
Ella
Kaye
hadn't
come
on
board
in
Boston.
A
week
later,
Cody
died.
I
remember
a
portrait
of
Cody
in
Gatsby’s
room—a
grey,
florid
man
with
a
hard
face.
Cody's
influence
was
why
Gatsby
drank
so
little.
Even
at
parties,
he
let
others
drink
while
he
stayed
sober.
Cody
left
him
a
legacy
of
twenty-five
thousand
dollars.
Gatsby
never
got
it.
He
didn’t
understand
how
the
money
went
to
Ella
Kaye,
but
he
was
left
with
an
education.
The
idea
of
Jay
Gatsby
had
become
a
reality.
He
told
me
all
this
later,
but
I
write
it
here
to
clear
up
the
wild
rumors
about
his
past.
He
shared
this
story
during
a
confusing
time
when
I
didn’t
know
what
to
believe
about
him.
So,
I
use
this
pause
to
correct
the
misconceptions.
It
was
also
a
pause
in
my
dealings
with
him.
For
weeks,
I
didn’t
see
or
hear
from
him.
I
spent
time
in
New
York
with
Jordan
and
her
aunt.
But
one
Sunday,
I
visited
his
house.
I
had
been
there
only
a
short
time
when
Tom
Buchanan
arrived
for
a
drink.
I
was
surprised,
but
it
was
more
surprising
it
hadn’t
happened
before.
Tom
arrived
with
two
others
on
horseback—a
man
named
Sloane
and
a
pretty
woman
in
a
brown
riding
outfit.
