Nick and Daisy are having a shallow conversation about the butler ,but Daisy tells Nick she has got a secret to tell him. At that moment ,Nick observes Daisy 's beauty " a moment the last sunshine ........her glowing face" ; then he feels forced to listen to the secret: "her voice compelled me ...... I listened..." ,but ,after the butler has come back to tell Tom, secretely, he has got a telephone call, Daisy's beauty vanishes : " then the glow faded, ...... lingering regret,..".
