El Gran Gatsby
Capítulo 9, Página 15
"My
memory
goes
back
to
when
I
first
met
him,"
he
said.
"A
young
major
just
out
of
the
army,
covered
with
medals
from
the
war.
He
was
so
broke
he
had
to
keep
wearing
his
uniform
because
he
couldn't
afford
regular
clothes.
The
first
time
I
saw
him
was
when
he
came
into
Winebrenner's
poolroom
on
Forty-third
Street
and
asked
for
a
job.
He
hadn't
eaten
for
a
couple
of
days.
'Come
have
some
lunch
with
me,'
I
said.
He
ate
more
than
four
dollars'
worth
of
food
in
half
an
hour."
"Did
you
start
him
in
business?"
I
asked.
"Start
him!
I
made
him."
"Oh."
"I
raised
him
up
from
nothing,
right
out
of
the
gutter.
I
saw
right
away
he
was
a
fine-looking,
gentlemanly
young
man,
and
when
he
told
me
he
was
at
Oxford,
I
knew
I
could
use
him
well.
I
got
him
to
join
the
American
Legion,
and
he
stood
high
there.
Right
away,
he
did
some
work
for
a
client
of
mine
in
Albany.
We
were
so
close
in
everything"—he
held
up
two
thick
fingers—"always
together."
I
wondered
if
this
partnership
had
included
the
1919
World
Series
transaction.
