The Great Gatsby, in the shape of tea
Could you please tell me the meaning of "in the shape of" in this excerpt from the chapter Five from The Great Gatsby? Is this a regular or normal phrase in this sense?“Looks very good,” he remarked vaguely. “One of the papers said they thought the rain would stop about four. I think it was ‘The Journal’. Have you got everything you need in the shape of—of tea?”
Thank you;
The Great Gatsby, before any words came through
I'd like to know if in this excerpt from the chapter V of The Great Gatsby the phrase "before any words came through" means "before I could perceive the meaning of the words":The exhilarating ripple of her voice was a wild tonic in the rain. I had to follow the sound of it for a moment, up and down, with my ear alone before any words came through.
Thank you.
