El Gran Gatsby
Capítulo 9, Página 15
“My
memory
goes
back
to
when
first
I
met
him,”
he
said.
“A
young
major
just
out
of
the
army
and
covered
over
with
medals
he
got
in
the
war.
He
was
so
hard
up
he
had
to
keep
on
wearing
his
uniform
because
he
couldn’t
buy
some
regular
clothes.
First
time
I
saw
him
was
when
he
came
into
Winebrenner’s
poolroom
at
Forty-third
Street
and
asked
for
a
job.
He
hadn’t
eat
anything
for
a
couple
of
days.
‘Come
on
have
some
lunch
with
me,’
I
said.
He
ate
more
than
four
dollars’
worth
of
food
in
half
an
hour.”
“Did
you
start
him
in
business?”
I
inquired.
“Start
him!
I
made
him.”
“Oh.”
“I
raised
him
up
out
of
nothing,
right
out
of
the
gutter.
I
saw
right
away
he
was
a
fine-appearing,
gentlemanly
young
man,
and
when
he
told
me
he
was
at
Oggsford
I
knew
I
could
use
him
good.
I
got
him
to
join
the
American
Legion
and
he
used
to
stand
high
there.
Right
off
he
did
some
work
for
a
client
of
mine
up
to
Albany.
We
were
so
thick
like
that
in
everything”—he
held
up
two
bulbous
fingers—“always
together.”
I
wondered
if
this
partnership
had
included
the
World’s
Series
transaction
in
1919.
