What is meant by the expression," spilled with prodigality, tipped out at a cheerful word"?
Top answer
'prodigality (from the Great Gatsby )means:- wastefulness or extreme lavishness. The full sentence I believe is:- The lights grow brighter as the earth lurches away from the sun, and now the orchestra is playing yellow cocktail music, and the opera of voices pitches a key higher. Laughter is easier minute by minute, spilled with prodigality, tipped out at a cheerful word.
