3 When she moved about there was an incessant clicking as innumerable pottery bracelets jingled up and down upon her arms.
4 There was a touch of paternal contempt in it, even toward people he liked--and there were men at New Haven who had hated his guts.
5 Almost before I had grasped her meaning there was the flutter of a dress and the crunch of leather boots and Tom and Daisy were back at the table.
