Nick's fascination with Gatsby continues in this chapter, with Nick listing off the "regulars" at Gatsby's parties, which included the most rich, who had the most influence. Next, he describes his outing with Gatsby when they went to lunch, when Gatsby tells Nick about his life, which are so specific, it makes us wonder if they really happened or not, which is sensed by Gatsby, which caused him to show a medal from Montenegro with a picture of himself playing cricket at Oxford.
When Gatsby gets pulled over for speeding, he shows the officer a small white card, causing the officer to apologize, and let them go. At lunch, Nick is introduced to Meyer of Wolfshiem, who is blamed by Gatsby for fixing the 1919 World Series. Meyer also talks about his "underground" business, and Nick starts to realize that Gatsby's wealth is more than likely from the same things.
After Lunch, Nock sees Jordan again, and is told of the conversation she and Gatsby had at the party. Apparently Gatsby is in love with Daisy Buchanan, and had told her the day before she married Tom, but when Gatsby left for war, she decided to marry Tom, so Gatsby confessed to buying his mansion in West egg to be closer to Daisy, and asked Jordan to convince Nick to arrange a meeting between himself and Daisy.
