Chapter 4 (46)

Nick was angry that Gatsby had arranged for Jordan to discuss something with him. Nick considered their meeting a date.... Gatbsy found out they were having tea and interjected his own agenda. Nick was not happy.

“No, old sport, I’m not. But Miss Baker has kindly consented to speak to you about this matter.”

I hadn’t the faintest idea what “this matter” was, but I was more annoyed than interested. I hadn’t asked Jordan to tea in order to discuss Mr. Jay Gatsby. I was sure the request would be something utterly fantastic, and for a moment I was sorry I’d ever set foot upon his overpopulated lawn.
