El Gran Gatsby
Capítulo 1, Página 20
“I
suppose
she
talks,
and—eats,
and
everything.”
“Oh,
yes.”
She
looked
at
me
absently.
“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’ve
gotten
to
feel
about—things.
Well,
she
was
less
than
an
hour
old
and
Tom
was
God
knows
where.
I
woke
up
out
of
the
ether
with
an
utterly
abandoned
feeling,
and
asked
the
nurse
right
away
if
it
was
a
boy
or
a
girl.
She
told
me
it
was
a
girl,
and
so
I
turned
my
head
away
and
wept.
‘All
right,’
I
said,
‘I’m
glad
it’s
a
girl.
And
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
anyhow,”
she
went
on
in
a
convinced
way.
“Everybody
thinks
so—the
most
advanced
people.
And
I
know.
I’ve
been
everywhere
and
seen
everything
and
done
everything.”
Her
eyes
flashed
around
her
in
a
defiant
way,
rather
like
Tom’s,
and
she
laughed
with
thrilling
scorn.
“Sophisticated—God,
I’m
sophisticated!”
The
instant
her
voice
broke
off,
ceasing
to
compel
my
attention,
my
belief,
I
felt
the
basic
insincerity
of
what
she
had
said.
It
made
me
uneasy,
as
though
the
whole
evening
had
been
a
trick
of
some
sort
to
exact
a
contributory
emotion
from
me.
I
waited,
and
sure
enough,
in
a
moment
she
looked
at
me
with
an
absolute
smirk
on
her
lovely
face,
as
if
she
had
asserted
her
membership
in
a
rather
distinguished
secret
society
to
which
she
and
Tom
belonged.
