El Gran Gatsby
Capítulo 3, Página 16
"Ladies
and
gentlemen,"
he
called.
"At
Mr.
Gatsby's
request,
we
will
play
Mr.
Vladmir
Tostoff's
latest
piece,
which
caused
quite
a
stir
at
Carnegie
Hall
last
May.
If
you
read
the
papers,
you
know
there
was
a
big
sensation."
He
smiled
amiably,
adding,
"What
a
sensation!"
and
everyone
laughed.
"The
piece
is
known,"
he
finished
energetically,
"as
'Vladmir
Tostoff's
Jazz
History
of
the
World!'"
I
couldn't
grasp
the
nature
of
Mr.
Tostoff's
composition,
because
just
as
it
began,
my
eyes
fell
on
Gatsby.
He
stood
alone
on
the
marble
steps,
observing
the
groups
with
approving
eyes.
His
tanned
skin
was
tightly
drawn
over
his
face,
and
his
short
hair
looked
freshly
cut.
I
saw
nothing
sinister
about
him.
I
wondered
if
not
drinking
set
him
apart
from
his
guests,
as
he
seemed
more
composed
as
the
party's
merriment
grew.
When
the
"Jazz
History
of
the
World"
ended,
girls
were
resting
their
heads
on
men's
shoulders
in
a
playful,
friendly
manner,
swooning
backward
into
men's
arms,
even
into
groups,
knowing
someone
would
catch
them—but
no
one
swooned
backward
on
Gatsby,
no
bobbed
hair
touched
his
shoulder,
and
no
singing
groups
included
him
as
a
link.
"I
beg
your
pardon."
Gatsby's
butler
suddenly
appeared
beside
us.
"Miss
Baker?"
he
asked.
"I
beg
your
pardon,
but
Mr.
Gatsby
would
like
to
speak
to
you
alone."
