In The Great Gatsby, what does Myrtle Wilson tell her husband to do to her?

Nick Carraway, who narrates most of the novel, cannot report what Myrtle Wilson tells her husband George to do to her because Nick was not present during their quarrel. Instead, Nick narrates what a young Greek named Michaelis must have reported to the police. Michaelis runs a "coffee joint" near Wilson's garage and has a somewhat friendly relationship with George. He had come over for a visit and had found George sick in his office. George confided in his neighbor that he had his wife Myrtle locked in a room upstairs. He tells Michaelis,



She's going to stay there till the day after to-morrow, and then we're going to move away.



George is sure that his wife has been having an affair with someone. He is suspicious of everybody — even of Michaelis. Myrtle is making a racket upstairs. As Michaelis leaves Wilson's place,



"Beat me!" he heard her cry. "Throw me down and beat me, you dirty little coward!"



From the upstairs window, Myrtle evidently sees the big yellow roadster returning from New York. She assumes Tom Buchanan owns the car. According to Michaelis:



A moment later she rushed out into the dusk, waving her hands and shouting—



Myrtle obviously wanted Tom to help her escape from her husband, but Tom wasn't even in the roadster. Back in New York, Tom had told Daisy to go back home with Gatsby:



"You two start on home, Daisy," said Tom. "In Mr. Gatsby's car."


She looked at Tom, alarmed now, but he insisted with magnanimous scorn.


"Go on. He won't annoy you. I think he realizes that his presumptuous little flirtation is over."



So Gatsby is letting Daisy drive his yellow roadster when Myrtle rushes outdoors, but the reader does not learn this fact until later in the novel. Gatsby keeps Daisy's hitting Myrtle a secret to protect Daisy.

etymology - Origin of the greeting "Sweet dreams".

Does anybody know the etymology of the phrase "sweet dreams"? I tried googling but did not find anything satisfying. Is this a relatively new phrase of the modern world or has this been in use for some time? I think it's the latter one. Answer The OED has the interjection as "a farewell to someone going to bed" from the 20th century: 1908 Sears Roebuck Catal. 198/1 Tenor Solos..Good Bye, Sweet Dreams, Good Bye. But it goes back until at least the 19th and possibly 18th centuries. John Wolcot, writing under the pseudonym of Peter Pindar, used it in his poem "Orson and Ellen; A Legendary Tale" published in 1801: Also from 1801 in The infernal Quixote (Page 287) by Charles Lucas: In the March 1776 of The Universal Magazine was published "The Serenade. A Pastoral Tale. From the German of Gesner" , where the shepherd Daphnis watches over his beloved as she sleeps and sings: The same tale appears in 1776's as Idyl XI, " Daphnis ...

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

What are the similarities between the relationships of the characters in The Outsiders and Romeo and Juliet?

At first glance, it might appear as if the characters in  The Outsiders  by S. E. Hinton and  Romeo and Juliet  by William Shakespeare do not have much in common; however, when one isolates the core of the conflicts, it becomes clear that the relationships in both stories are rooted in rivalry and secrecy.  In both  The Outsiders  and  Romeo and Juliet , an overarching theme is rivalry. While   socioeconomic status separates the greasers from the Socs in The Outsiders , last names separates the Montagues from the Capulets, who appear to be relatively equal in terms of socioeconomic status. Due to these rivalries, there are instances of deadly interactions in both stories. In  The Outsiders , Johnny kills Bob (whether his actions were justified or not is debatable). In  Romeo and Juliet , Romeo kills Tybalt and Paris, and Tybalt kills Mercutio. These deaths have profound effects on the main characters. In Ponyboy's case, the Johnny's death and other events in the novel inspire h...
