Simplified version There was music from my neighbour's house through the summer nights. In his (1) blue gardens men and girls came and went, (2) floating amongthe whisperings and the champagne and the stars. In the afternoon by the shore I watched his guests swimming in the Sound, or lying in the sun on the (3) hot sand, or water-skiing from his two motorboats. At weekends his (4) big open car became a bus, carrying groups of people to and from the city between nine in the morning and long past midnight, while his second (5) car met all the trains at the station. And on Mondays eight servants, including an extra gardener, worked all day (6) to repair the damage from the night before. Every Friday (7) five boxesof oranges and lemons arrived from a fruit shop in New York - every Monday these same (8) oranges and lemons left his back door in (9) a pile of empty halves. About once in two weeks there was a (10) really big party. The trees were all covered in coloured lights and a dance floor was laid down on the lawn; a big group of musicians came down from New York to play music for dancing. (11) Wonderful food arrived, with (12) dozens of waiters to serve it, and in the main hall a bar was set up, serving (13) every possible kind of alcoholic drink. I remember (14) the sense of excitement at the beginning of the party. By seven o'clock the last swimmers have come in from the beach and are dressing upstairs; cars from New York are (15) drawing up every minute, and already the halls and sitting rooms are full of girls in (16) bright dresses with the newest, strangest hairstyles. (17) Trays ofcocktails are floating through the garden outside, until the (18) air is alivewith talk and laughter. The lights grow brighter as darkness falls, and now the musicians are playing (19) cocktail music and the (20) voices are higher and louder. (21) Laughter is easier, minute by minute. The party has begun.
