In the ditch beside the road, right side up, but violently
shorn of one wheel, rested a new coupé which had left
Gatsby's drive not two minutes before. The sharp jut of a
wall accounted for the detachment of the wheel, which
was now getting considerable attention from half a dozen
curious chauffeurs. However, as they had left their cars
blocking the road, a harsh, discordant din from those in the
rear had been audible for some time, and added to the
already violent confusion of the scene.
