Chapter Seven.

Pg. 113... "Is Mr. Gatsby sick?" "Nope."

Nick hasn't seen Gatsby in a while. He hasn't thrown any parties. He fired all of his staff and replaced them with shadier ones. He says that it is because Daisy has been coming over ever afternoon and he didn't want anyone to gossip about it. The parties were all for Daisy, so now that he has her (for the time being) he can stop trying to get her attention. 

Pg. 125... "There is no confusion like the confusion of a simple mind, and as we drove away Tom was feeling the hot whips of panic. His wife and his mistress, until an hour ago secure and inviolate, were slipping precipitately from his control."

Tom had everything in control of the people the he was with. Little did he realize that Daisy was falling more and more in love with Gatsby. All while Myrtle was moving to the south with her husband. He was losing both of the women that he was with in a matter of seconds. 

Pg. 138... "Myrtle Wilson's body, wrapped in a blanket, and then in another blanket..."

Driving back home they stumbled upon an accident that involved Myrtle. Someone had hit her with a car and then just left the scene. Later they found out it was a bright yellow car. Which is what Gatsby drives. Come to find out Daisy was driving when the accident happened. But Gatsby will take the blame for anything that happens with her. 

Pg. 145.. "I'll wait here till Daisy goes to bed.Good night, old sport."

Gatsby is going to wait outside of her house just until she goes to sleep, because she doesn't trust Tom. He thinks that Tom is going to try and do something to her. like ask her about the events of today. Gatsby doesn't want that. so he refuses to go home. and if there is any commotion in her house then she is to turn the light on and then off again. I don't think that Gatsby realizes the severity of this accident and what happened today. he is just willing to do whatever he has to, to protect Daisy.
