“’Here dearis.’ [Daisy] groped around in a waste-basket she had with her on the bed and pulled out the string of pearls.  ‘Take ‘em downstairs and give ‘em back to whoever they belong to.  Tell ‘em all Daisy’s change’ her mine.  Say ‘Daisy’s change’ her mine!’”
Daisy is drunk while saying these words, show she truly did not love Tom for more than his money before they were married, a claim by Gatsby.  Daisy must be easily bought if she could only reveal her true feelings while drunk.  However, this was not the first time the truth was told under the influence of alcohol.
