From the book
A prompt from this edition.
Every chapter of the Commonplace Edition closes with a prompt.
Commonplace
Nick says he is “inclined to reserve all judgements.” Yet when Daisy tells how she wished at her daughter’s birth that the girl would be “a beautiful little fool,” he feels, the instant her voice breaks off, “the basic insincerity of what she had said.” What makes him so sure? Mark in her speech what persuades you and what does not.
