In Chapter 3 of The Great Gatsby --- Nick describes watching endless parties going on in Gatsby's house every weekend. Guests party day and night and then on Mondays servants clean up the mess.
Everything is about excess and a sense of overkill. Each weekend, guests are ferried back and forth to Manhattan by Rolls-Royce, crates of Oranges and lemons are juiced, an army of caterers sets up tents and lighting, food is piled high, the bar is overwhelmingly stocked, and there is a huge band playing. It's an even bigger deal than it sounds because all this is happening during the Prohibition, when alcohol was supposedly unavailable.
The first night Nick goes to Gatsby's for a party, he's one of a very few actually invited guests. Everyone else just crashes. At the party, Nick is ill at ease. He knows no one. There's a surprising number of English people at the party, who seem desperate to get their hands on American money.
No one knows where Gatsby himself is. Nick hangs out near the bar until he sees Jordan Baker. Nick and Jordan chat with other party people. A young woman tells them that at another one of these parties, when she ripped her dress by accident, Gatsby sent her a very expensive replacement. They gossip about what this odd behavior means. One rumor has it that Gatsby killed someone, another that he was a German spy.
Food is served, which Nick and Jordan eat at a table full of people from East Egg, who look at this insane party with condescension.
They decide to find Gatsby since Nick has never actually met him. In his mansion, they end up in the library, which has ornately carved bookshelves and reams of books. A man with owl-eyed spectacles enthuses about the fact that all these books are actually real—and about the fact that Gatsby hasn't cut their pages (meaning he's never read any of them).
Back out in the garden, guests are now dancing, and several famous opera singers perform. Some partygoers also perform relatively risqué acts.
Nick and Jordan sit down at a table with a man who recognizes Nick from the army. After talking about the places in France where they were stationed during the war, the man reveals that he is Gatsby. Gatsby flashes the world's greatest and most seductive (not sexually, just extremely appealingly) smile at Nick and leaves to take a phone call from Chicago.
Nick demands more information about Gatsby from Jordan, who said that Gatsby calls himself an Oxford man (meaning, he went to the University of Oxford). Jordan says that she doesn't believe this, and Nick lumps the info in with all the other rumors he's heard (that Gatsby had killed a man, that he was Kaiser Wilhelm's nephew, that he was a German spy, etc.).
The orchestra strikes up the latest number one hit. Nick notices Gatsby looking over his guests with approval. Gatsby neither drinks, nor dances, nor flirts with anyone at the party.
When Jordan is suddenly and mysteriously asked to speak to Gatsby alone, Nick watches a drunk guest weep and then pass out. He notices fights breaking out between other couples. Even the group of people from East Egg are no longer on their best behavior.
Despite the fact that the party is clearly over, no one wants to leave. As Nick is getting his hat to leave, Gatsby and Jordan come out of the library. Jordan tells Nick that Gatsby has just told her something amazing—but she can't reveal what. She gives Nick her number and leaves.
Nick finds Gatsby, apologizes for not seeking him out earlier. Gatsby invites him to go out on his hydroplane the next day, and Nick leaves as Gatsby is summoned to a phone call from Philadelphia.
He waves goodbye from the steps of his mansion, looking lonely.
Outside, the man with the owl-eyed spectacles from the library has crashed his car. An even drunker man emerges from the driver's seat of the wreck and is comically but also horrifyingly confused about what has happened.
The narrative is interrupted by present-day Nick. He thinks that what he's been writing is probably giving us the wrong idea. He wasn't fixated on Gatsby during that summer. That summer, he spent most of his time working at his second or third-tier bond trading company, Probity Trust, and had a relationship with a coworker. He started to really like the crowded and anonymous feel of Manhattan, but also felt lonely.
In the middle of the summer, Nick reconnects with Jordan Baker and they start dating. He almost falls in love with her and discovers that under her veneer of boredom, Jordan is an incorrigible liar. She gets away with it because in the rigid upper-class code of behavior, calling a woman out as a liar would be improper.
When Nick complains that Jordan is a terrible driver, she answers that she relies on the other eople on the road to be careful instead of her. Nick wants to take their relationship further, but reigns himself in because he hasn't fully broken off the non-engagement back home that Tom and Daisy had asked him about earlier.
In Chapter 3, the main characters discover a hidden room in the old mansion that holds a mysterious journal detailing the history of the family who used to live there. They learn of a long lost treasure rumored to be hidden on the property, and begin unraveling the clues to find it.
