The Insincerity of a Girl

Nick Caraway met Daisy Baker for the first time in New York. She told him about her daughter, who was born less than an hour old. He felt uneasy and wondered if it were a trick to exact emotion from him. But then she said: "I'm glad it's a girl, and I hope she'll be a fool" Her eyes flashed around her in a defiant way as she laughed with thrilling scorn. The next day he found out that his friend had married Miss Baker.
