The Great Gatsby — Chapter 37 in French

By F. Scott Fitzgerald

Michaelis ouvrit le tiroir le plus proche de sa main. Michaelis opened the drawer nearest his hand. Il ne contenait rien, hormis une laisse de chien, courte et luxueuse, en cuir et tresse d’argent. There was nothing in it but a small, expensive dog-leash, made of leather and braided silver. Elle semblait neuve. It was apparently new.
— Ça ? demanda-t-il, la montrant dans sa main. “This?” he inquired, holding it up.
Wilson regarda d’un œil fixe et fit oui de la tête. Wilson stared and nodded.
— Je l’ai trouvée hier après-midi. “I found it yesterday afternoon. Elle essaya de m’expliquer, mais, moi, je savais que c’était louche. She tried to tell me about it, but I knew it was something funny.”
