 * "They weren't happy, and neither of them had touched the chicken or ale-and yet they weren't unhappy either. There was an unmistakable air of natural intimacy about the picture, and anybody would have said that they were conspiring together." (pg.145)

-When this occured Tom and Daisy were sitting face to face after they got back from the city, and after the whole accident with Myrtle occured. Tom seemed to be talking with Daisy and she was constantly showing that she was agreeing with him. While all of this was happening Gatsby was watching outside to make sure Tom didn't try to hurt Daisy. By saying that they weren't happy it was meant that the conflict that had occured between Gatsby and Tom still hung heavily around them, and the fact that Tom confirmed that Gatsby and Daisy had a thing going on made it even worse. Then there is that they weren't unhappy either and that was because when the fight was going on Daisy saw that she was more in love with Tom than she was with Gatsby. Daisy opened her eyes and saw that the man she had spent all of those years married to was the one for her. When they were together in their kitchen both Tom and Daisy felt that they were where they were suppose to be. When it says that they were conspiring together it seems that they were trying to make their marriage work out and stay together.


 * "Daisy and Tom were sitting opposite each other at the kitchen table, ... He was talking intently across the table at her, and in his earnestness his hand had fallen upon and covered her own. Once in a while she looked up at him and nodded in agreement." (pg. 144-145)
