The big house, when Gatsby live alone or only his invited. Fitzgerald (2007, p.22): “... I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby’s house I was one of the few guests who had actually been invited. People were not invited—they went there. They got into automobiles which bore them out to Long Island, and somehow they ended up at Gatsby’s door. Once there they were introduced by somebody who knew Gatsby...”. “...

Fitzgerald (2007,p.73) “(...)“I’ve got something to tell YOU, old sport——” began Gatsby. But Daisy guessed at his intention. “Please don’t!” she interrupted helplessly. “Please let’s all go home.
