Outside the office creaks a little sign reading "Scrooge and Marley"--Jacob Marley, Scrooge's business partner, has died seven years ago on this very day. Inside the office, Scrooge watches over his clerk, a poor diminutive man named Bob Cratchit. The smoldering ashes in the fireplace provide little heat even for Bob's tiny room. Despite the harsh weather Scrooge refuses to pay for another lump of coal to warm the office.

Nick does not like New York, which is apparent when he says, “So when the blue smoke of brittle leaves was in the air and the wind blew the laundry stiff on the line I decided to come back home” (176). Gatsby has everything except what he most desires, Daisy. He buys many things just to impress her and prove to her that he really is wealthy. He has a big car, a mansion, and lots of clothes. Nick comments on Gatsby’s car, "...and there in its monstrous length with triumphant hatboxes and supper-boxes and tool-boxes...Sitting down behind many layers of glass in a sort of leather conservatory we started towards town" (68).
The reader embarks on the story of Jay Gatsby with East-Coast-bound Nick Carraway, a Yale graduate and World War I veteran, who is seeking a job in the bond business. After moving to West Egg, a fictional area home to the newly rich, Nick meets his neighbor Jay Gatsby – a disgustingly wealthy man well known for the parties he throws. Gatsby’s background is a mystery to Carraway and others in West Egg, yet his demeanor
Fitzgerald seems to use chauffeurs as a way of symbolizing various characters’ self-reliance, or lack thereof. It is a case, perhaps, where one’s wealth undermines one’s own initiative and abilities. The first references in Gatsby demonstrating the link between chauffeurs and class show the chauffeur employed by Gatsby, who is Nick’s eccentric, self-made, wealthy neighbor. He is not shown in a car on either occasion, but on Foot. In chapter 3, he walks over to Nick’s house to give him an invitation to Gatsby’s party, and, at the party itself, he is fetching Jordan to speak with Gatsby at the party.
During the first stanza, the speaker states the setting to be Chicago during a light snowfall in the late afternoon. A man has just finished his laundry and the speaker assumes him that he takes pleasure in the warmth of his hands in the cold winter. The speaker makes an allusion to a Rembrandt painting as the setting sun creates “a triangle of orange in the hollow of [the man’s] cheek”. The speaker’s vivid and detailed description of the setting as well as the visual appearance of the man shows how no one is invisible but to those who choose not to care nor place any importance on their lives. The speaker is the only witness of the incident who chooses to care about this man and therefore can give, in lively detail, a clear recollection.
