When Nick came back from dinner with Jordan, he noticed that there were many lights on inside of Gatsby’s mansion, however there was no party. As Nick is walking home, Gatsby comes across his lawn and they begin speaking. Gatsby seems almost desperate to try and please Nick for some unknown reason. The reader is eventually made aware that Gatsby’s intent is to “butter” Nick up in order to get him to help with his plan of inviting Daisy over for tea. After Nick agrees to help in the plan, Mr. Gatsby offers to have someone cut his lawn for him, and then offers him an opportunity to get involved in some work that he does on the side.
There is much build up to this meeting between Gatsby and Daisy. The day it was set for was very rainy and dreary. Despite the rain, Gatsby still sends someone to Nick’s house to cut the lawn. When Daisy arrives at Nick’s house, Nick brings her inside to find that Gatsby is gone. Soon after, Gatsby comes in from a walk around the house in the rain—very strange indeed. At first, the reader can get the impression that the reunion is very awkward. However, Nick leaves the two alone for a while and when he returns, he finds them very happy. Symbolically, the rain outside stops and Gatsby invites the two, Nick and Daisy, back to his mansion. When they arrive, Gatsby begins showing Daisy all of his lavish possessions. A lot to take in, it seems as though Daisy does not know how process it all.
As Gatsby continues explaining his fantasies of Daisy, it seems as though the real Daisy will not be able to live up to the expectations that Gatsby has created for her. For the time being, however, Gatsby and Daisy seem to be romantically rekindled. In Gatsby’s mansion, Gatsby calls in a strange man by the name of Klipspringer, who lives with Gatsby, and tells him to play the piano. It becomes apparent to Nick that Gatsby and Daisy have forgotten he is in the room, and he leaves the two alone.
