El Gran Gatsby
Capítulo 5, Página 11
“I
certainly
am
awfully
glad
to
see
you
again.”
A
pause;
it
endured
horribly.
I
had
nothing
to
do
in
the
hall,
so
I
went
into
the
room.
Gatsby,
his
hands
still
in
his
pockets,
was
reclining
against
the
mantelpiece
in
a
strained
counterfeit
of
perfect
ease,
even
of
boredom.
His
head
leaned
back
so
far
that
it
rested
against
the
face
of
a
defunct
mantelpiece
clock,
and
from
this
position
his
distraught
eyes
stared
down
at
Daisy,
who
was
sitting,
frightened
but
graceful,
on
the
edge
of
a
stiff
chair.
“We’ve
met
before,”
muttered
Gatsby.
His
eyes
glanced
momentarily
at
me,
and
his
lips
parted
with
an
abortive
attempt
at
a
laugh.
Luckily
the
clock
took
this
moment
to
tilt
dangerously
at
the
pressure
of
his
head,
whereupon
he
turned
and
caught
it
with
trembling
fingers,
and
set
it
back
in
place.
Then
he
sat
down,
rigidly,
his
elbow
on
the
arm
of
the
sofa
and
his
chin
in
his
hand.
“I’m
sorry
about
the
clock,”
he
said.
My
own
face
had
now
assumed
a
deep
tropical
burn.
I
couldn’t
muster
up
a
single
commonplace
out
of
the
thousand
in
my
head.
