What happened one October night?

When Nick meets up with Gatsby at dawn, Gatsby tells him nothing happened outside Daisy’s house all night. Gatsby’s house feels strangely enormous. It’s also poorly kept – dusty, unaired, and unusually dark. But he knew that he was in Daisy’s house by a colossal accident. However glorious might be his future as Jay Gatsby, he was at present a penniless young man without a past, and at any moment the invisible cloak of his uniform might slip from his shoulders. So he made the most of his time. He took what he could get, ravenously and unscrupulously — eventually, he took Daisy one still October night, took her because he had no real right to touch her hand.
