If she saw me out of the corner of her eyes she gave no hint of it-indeed, I was almost surprised into murmuring an apology for having disturbed her by coming in." She ignores him when he enters and stares blankly into space. 

Nick later describes her physical appearance on page 11 when he says, "I enjoyed looking at her. She was a slender, small-breasted girl, with an erect carriage, which she accentuated by throwing her body backward at the shoulders like a young cadet. Her gray sun-strained eyes looked back at me with polite reciprocal curiosity out of a wan, charming, discontented face."

Daisy also brings up Jordan's occupation on page 18 saying, "Jordan's going to play in the tournament to-morrow, over at Westchester." While she doesn't state outright what she plays, we know it to be golf.]]> 2022-01-14 15:01:51 UTC https://padlet.com/hstoepfel1/aj75ksmuyp275eos/wish/1992468352 https://padlet.com/hstoepfel1/aj75ksmuyp275eos/wish/1992469805 Miss.
