Nick was supposedly engaged before coming to New York;
Daisy says, “We heard that you were engaged” (19). Nick’s response is typically elliptical, after which he tells the reader:
Of course I knew what they were referring to, but I wasn’t even vaguely engaged. The fact that gossip had published the banns was one of the reasons I had come East. You can’t stop going with an old friend on account of rumors,and on the other hand I had no intention of being rumored into marriage."(19)
hope this helped :)

Allusions are sometimes considered of as allusions to anything else made by an author. Poetry, prose, and even cinema contain allusions. Allusions come in a variety of forms, ranging from Biblical connections to historical symbols.
<h3>What is an allusion?</h3>
In literature, an allusion is an inferred or indirect reference to a person, event, or object, or to a portion of another book.
Most allusions are predicated on the premise that the author and the reader share a body of knowledge, and hence the reader will comprehend the author's reference.
