The Great Gatsby

Chapter 3
Like many other people, Jordan doesn't believe all the hub-bub about Gatsby. She seems to thinks all the information bandied about to be false.... one long, endless rumor.
“Now you’re started on the subject,” she answered with a wan smile. “Well, he told me once he was an Oxford man.” A dim background started to take shape behind him, but at her next remark it faded away.
“However, I don’t believe it.”
“Why not?” “I don’t know,” she insisted, “I just don’t think he went there.”
