"In his blue gardens, men and girls came and went like moths among the
whisperings and the champagne and the stars"
This short passage reveals much about the party and how Nick views it. It shows that at the party there were many younger girls who were with older, rich men. Nick says that the party happens among the "whisperings and the champagne and the stars." The whisperings are the gossip that spreads rapidly through the party. The champagne shows that Nick sees alcohol as having a large effect on the party. Lastly, the stars show how free form the party was by showing that it is out under the stars in nature. This quote, though only one sentence, yields a significant amount of information about the party.
