A newcomer settles beside Gatsby's mansion

1 A hazy early-summer dawn over Long Island Sound and the low green shore of West Egg

3 A slanting beam of autumn light holds a column of drifting dust.

4 Young Nick Carraway stands beside his great-uncle's portrait in his father's office

5 A pale early-summer morning in the narrow kitchen of Nick's cheap rented bungalow.

6 Nick walks on down the sunlit country road, quietly lifted after a stranger asked him the way.

7 A row of new red-and-gold banking volumes stands on Nick's pine shelf, gleaming like fresh coins.

8 From above, two green peninsulas of the same shape face each other across a calm bay

9 From a gap in the hedge, Nick looks up at his neighbour's colossal new mansion
