I saw that for some reason of his own he was determined not to come, so I stood up. ‘Are you a college man? ’ he inquired suddenly. For a moment I thought he was going to suggest a ‘gon-negtion’ but he only nodded and shook my hand. ‘Let us learn to show our friendship for a man when he is alive and not after he is dead,’ he suggested. ‘After that my own rule is to let everything alone. ’ When I left his office the sky had turned dark and I got back to West Egg in a drizzle. After changing my clothes I went next door and found Mr. Gatz walking up and down excitedly in the hall. His pride in his son and in his son’s possessions was continually increasing and now he had something to show me. ‘Jimmy sent me this picture. ’He took out his wallet with trembling fingers. ‘Look there. ’ It was a photograph of the house, cracked in the corners and dirty with many hands.
