Summary: Nick goes over to Mr. Gatsby's party and tries to find him, but has no luck. Then he finds Jordan and stays by her side for the rest of he night. For a little while they stay with Jordan's party that she came with and they talked about all the rumors the heard about Gatsby, then it was too much for them and they said they were going to look for the host. First they checked the bar, and then the library. In the library they found a man who told them that the book's pages weren't cut. They started talking to a man because he had recognized Nick's face from the war; and they later found him out to be Mr. Gatsby. He left them, and a while later one of his butlers came after Jordan and told her that Mr. Gatsby would like to speak with her alone, so she went. Nick went inside and listened to the music. All of the couples were getting in fights. Jordan and Mr. Gatsby finally come out of the library. Nick says his good nights and leaves and sees that there was a wreck, and the guy from the library was in it. He tells us about other events that have occurred over the last few weeks, such as: he had been working a lot, liked New York, hung out with Jordan and figures her out a little more.
Characters: We learn that Jordan is a careless driver/person and she likes being with less intelligent men because she likes being in charge, and that she likes Nick because he is a careful person. We learn some of he rumors about Mr. Gatsby, also that Nick thinks he is one of the few honest people he has ever known.
Foreshadow: When Jordan says she likes being with Nick because he's careful foreshadows that something bad might happen when they're together. Also how talk about car crashes and bad driving have been a topic in this chapter.
Motif: the idea of bad driving.
Allusion: The rumor that says Mr. Gatsby is related to Kaiser.
