In 1921 Zelda gave birth to a daughter, Francis, whom they both nicknamed "Scottie".  In his ledger - which he kept up continually - Fitzgerald noted a remark made by Zelda prior to going into labor.  "I hope it's beautiful and a fool," she said.  "A beautiful little fool!"  Fitzgerald used this remark and other portions of his life in his third novel, ''The Great Gatsby'', a story told by the protagonist Nick Carraway of his single summer on Long Island and his fateful friendship with his next-door neighbor, Jay Gatsby, a self-made man who made it all just for the love of a woman who lived across the bay.
