El Gran Gatsby
Capítulo 1, Página 20
“I
suppose
she
talks,
and
eats,
and
everything.”
“Oh,
yes.”
She
looked
at
me
absentmindedly.
“Listen,
Nick,
let
me
tell
you
what
I
said
when
she
was
born.
Would
you
like
to
hear?”
“Very
much.”
“It’ll
show
you
how
I
feel
about
things.
Well,
she
was
less
than
an
hour
old,
and
Tom
was
nowhere
to
be
found.
I
woke
up
from
the
ether
feeling
completely
abandoned
and
asked
the
nurse
if
it
was
a
boy
or
a
girl.
She
said
it
was
a
girl,
and
I
turned
my
head
and
wept.
‘All
right,’
I
said,
‘I’m
glad
it’s
a
girl.
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
with
conviction.
“Everyone
thinks
so—the
most
advanced
people.
And
I
know.
I’ve
been
everywhere,
seen
everything,
done
everything.”
Her
eyes
flashed
around
defiantly,
much
like
Tom’s,
and
she
laughed
with
thrilling
scorn.
“Sophisticated—God,
I’m
sophisticated!”
The
moment
her
voice
stopped,
no
longer
commanding
my
attention
or
belief,
I
sensed
the
basic
insincerity
of
what
she
had
said.
It
made
me
uneasy,
as
if
the
whole
evening
had
been
a
trick
to
draw
some
emotional
response
from
me.
I
waited,
and
sure
enough,
soon
she
looked
at
me
with
a
smirk
on
her
beautiful
face,
as
if
she
had
declared
her
membership
in
a
special
secret
society
with
Tom.
