read the following excerpt from f. scott fitzgerald's
the great gatsby
:
i spent my saturday nights in new york, because those gleaming,
dazzling parties of his were with me so vividly that i could still hear the
music and the laughter, faint and incessant, from his garden, and the
cars going up and down his drive. one night i did hear a material car
there, and saw its lights stop at his front steps. but i didn't investigate.
probably it was some final guest who had been away at the ends of
the earth and didn't know that the party was over.
