Gatsby and Tom

'I believe we've met somewhere before, Mr. Buchanan,' said Gatsby to Tom Sloane. 'You live near here, Nick?' next door. "'That's so.' Mr. Sloane didn't enter into the conversation, but lounge back, hodily in his chair. Until unexpectedly after two highballs, she became cordial. He wanted to go, and he didn't see that Mr.Sloane had determined he shouldn't. I'm afraid I won't be able to,' I said.
