Gatsby's halting speech in the excerpt below shows his-
["Would you rather put it off for a few days?" I asked.
"Oh, it isn't about that. At least----" He fumbled with a series of

much money, do you?"
"Not very much."
This seemed to reassure him and he continued more confidently.
"I thought you didn't, if you'll pardon my--you see, I carry on a
little business on the side, a sort of sideline, you understand. And I
thought that if you don't make very much--You're selling bonds, aren't
you, old sport?"]
