I will certainly get to the point, as I simply do not want to waste anymore of my time, you do not know me but I do know your husband Tom and have seen him on many occasions.

If it is money you worry about, as I know it is, Gatsby is the best second hand man for your nagging ways. He has bought a house, has achieved great wealth for your attention, and his extravagant parties is solely a means by which to lure you into his arms. “’Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across...
