El Gran Gatsby
Capítulo 9, Página 22
“Jimmy
was
bound
to
get
ahead.
He
always
had
some
resolves
like
this
or
something.
Do
you
notice
what
he’s
got
about
improving
his
mind?
He
was
always
great
for
that.
He
told
me
I
et
like
a
hog
once,
and
I
beat
him
for
it.”
He
was
reluctant
to
close
the
book,
reading
each
item
aloud
and
then
looking
eagerly
at
me.
I
think
he
rather
expected
me
to
copy
down
the
list
for
my
own
use.
A
little
before
three
the
Lutheran
minister
arrived
from
Flushing,
and
I
began
to
look
involuntarily
out
the
windows
for
other
cars.
So
did
Gatsby’s
father.
And
as
the
time
passed
and
the
servants
came
in
and
stood
waiting
in
the
hall,
his
eyes
began
to
blink
anxiously,
and
he
spoke
of
the
rain
in
a
worried,
uncertain
way.
The
minister
glanced
several
times
at
his
watch,
so
I
took
him
aside
and
asked
him
to
wait
for
half
an
hour.
But
it
wasn’t
any
use.
Nobody
came.
About
five
o’clock
our
procession
of
three
cars
reached
the
cemetery
and
stopped
in
a
thick
drizzle
beside
the
gate—first
a
motor
hearse,
horribly
black
and
wet,
then
Mr.
Gatz
and
the
minister
and
me
in
the
limousine,
and
a
little
later
four
or
five
servants
and
the
postman
from
West
Egg,
in
Gatsby’s
station
wagon,
all
wet
to
the
skin.
As
we
started
through
the
gate
into
the
cemetery
I
heard
a
car
stop
and
then
the
sound
of
someone
splashing
after
us
over
the
soggy
ground.
I
looked
around.
It
was
the
man
with
owl-eyed
glasses
whom
I
had
found
marvelling
over
Gatsby’s
books
in
the
library
one
night
three
months
before.
I’d
never
seen
him
since
then.
I
don’t
know
how
he
knew
about
the
funeral,
or
even
his
name.
The
rain
poured
down
his
thick
glasses,
and
he
took
them
off
and
wiped
them
to
see
the
protecting
canvas
unrolled
from
Gatsby’s
grave.
I
tried
to
think
about
Gatsby
then
for
a
moment,
but
he
was
already
too
far
away,
and
I
could
only
remember,
without
resentment,
that
Daisy
hadn’t
sent
a
message
or
a
flower.
Dimly
I
heard
someone
murmur
“Blessed
are
the
dead
that
the
rain
falls
on,”
and
then
the
owl-eyed
man
said
“Amen
to
that,”
in
a
brave
voice.
