"That poor man," Nicole excaimed. "Why did you want to saw him in two?"

"Naturally I wanted to see what was inside a waiter. Wouldn't you like to know what was inside a waiter?"

"Old menus," suggested Nicole with a short laugh. "Pieces of broken china and tips and pencil stubs."

"Exactly -- but the thing was to prove it scientifically."

I enjoyed Gatsby, but I find this much easier and more entertaining to read. The characters are kind of fun and the story isn't quite as opaque as I recall Gatsby being. ^^
