Who is the quote describing? (Great Gatsby) Flashcards
“. . .a pair of enormous eggs, identical in contour and separated only by a courtesy bay, jut out into the most

East and West Eggs
“. . . it was a factual imitation of some Hôtel de Ville in Normandy, with a tower on one side, spanking new

Tom at Gatsby’s party
“. . .when she arrived she was stupid with liquor and unable to understand that the ambulance had already
gone to Flushing.”
Catherine (Myrtles Sister)
