The Great Gatsby — Chapter 10 in French

By F. Scott Fitzgerald

— Voulez-vous venir avec moi, vieux frère ? “Want to go with me, old sport? Juste près du rivage, le long du détroit. Just near the shore along the Sound.”
« Quelle heure ? » “What time?”
— À l’heure qui vous conviendra. “Any time that suits you best.”
