1 He took off his glasses and wiped them again outside and in.
2 About five o'clock it was blue enough outside to snap off the light.
3 By six o'clock Michaelis was worn out and grateful for the sound of a car stopping outside.
4 When it was almost morning the waiter came up to him with a funny look and says somebody wants to speak to him outside.
5 The windows were ajar and gleaming white against the fresh grass outside that seemed to grow a little way into the house.
6 Blinking away the brightness of the street outside my eyes picked him out obscurely in the anteroom, talking to another man.
7 When he came outside again a little after seven he was reminded of the conversation because he heard Mrs. Wilson's voice, loud and scolding, downstairs in the garage.
8 She was feeling the pressure of the world outside and she wanted to see him and feel his presence beside her and be reassured that she was doing the right thing after all.
9 The hard brown beetles kept thudding against the dull light and whenever Michaelis heard a car go tearing along the road outside it sounded to him like the car that hadn't stopped a few hours before.
10 After the house, we were to see the grounds and the swimming pool, and the hydroplane and the midsummer flowers--but outside Gatsby's window it began to rain again so we stood in a row looking at the corrugated surface of the Sound.
11 Gatsby looked with vacant eyes through a copy of Clay's "Economics," starting at the Finnish tread that shook the kitchen floor and peering toward the bleared windows from time to time as if a series of invisible but alarming happenings were taking place outside.
12 The bar is in full swing and floating rounds of cocktails permeate the garden outside until the air is alive with chatter and laughter and casual innuendo and introductions forgotten on the spot and enthusiastic meetings between women who never knew each other's names.
