Beautiful and Damned

Gloria and Anthony Patch party until money runs out; then their goal becomes Adam Patch's fortune. Gloria's beauty fades and Anthony's drinking takes its horrible toll. Fitzgerald here once again displays a wariness of the upper classes, `an abiding distrust, an animosity, toward the leisure class - not the conviction of a revolutionist but the smouldering hatred of a peasant'.

Gloria si Anthony Patch petrec pana se epuizeaza banii; apoi scopul lor devine averea lui Adam Patch. Frumusetea Gloriei se estompeaza, iar bautul lui Anthony isi asuma un pret oribil.
