El Gran Gatsby
Capítulo 1, Página 25
“I
forgot
to
ask
you
something,
and
it’s
important.
We
heard
you
were
engaged
to
a
girl
out
West.”
“That’s
right,”
corroborated
Tom
kindly.
“We
heard
that
you
were
engaged.”
“It’s
a
libel.
I’m
too
poor.”
“But
we
heard
it,”
insisted
Daisy,
surprising
me
by
opening
up
again
in
a
flower-like
way.
“We
heard
it
from
three
people,
so
it
must
be
true.”
Of
course
I
knew
what
they
were
referring
to,
but
I
wasn’t
even
vaguely
engaged.
The
fact
that
gossip
had
published
the
banns
was
one
of
the
reasons
I
had
come
East.
You
can’t
stop
going
with
an
old
friend
on
account
of
rumours,
and
on
the
other
hand
I
had
no
intention
of
being
rumoured
into
marriage.
Their
interest
rather
touched
me
and
made
them
less
remotely
rich—nevertheless,
I
was
confused
and
a
little
disgusted
as
I
drove
away.
It
seemed
to
me
that
the
thing
for
Daisy
to
do
was
to
rush
out
of
the
house,
child
in
arms—but
apparently
there
were
no
such
intentions
in
her
head.
As
for
Tom,
the
fact
that
he
“had
some
woman
in
New
York”
was
really
less
surprising
than
that
he
had
been
depressed
by
a
book.
Something
was
making
him
nibble
at
the
edge
of
stale
ideas
as
if
his
sturdy
physical
egotism
no
longer
nourished
his
peremptory
heart.
