"
I
am
not
one
of
those
few
,
as
yet
,
"
said
Dagny
.
Lillian
smiled
.
"
Well
,
yes
,
I
must
explain
a
little
further
.
You
realize
that
your
radio
appearance
will
have
the
same
value
for
those
in
power
as
—
as
the
action
of
my
husband
when
he
signed
the
Gift
Certificate
that
turned
Rearden
Metal
over
to
them
.
You
know
how
frequently
and
how
usefully
they
have
been
mentioning
it
in
all
of
their
propaganda
.
"
"
I
didn
’
t
know
that
,
"
said
Dagny
sharply
.
"
Oh
,
of
course
,
you
have
been
away
for
most
of
the
last
two
months
,
so
you
might
have
missed
the
constant
reminders
—
in
the
press
,
on
the
radio
,
in
public
speeches
—
that
even
Hank
Rearden
approves
of
and
supports
Directive
10
-
289
,
since
he
has
voluntarily
signed
his
Metal
over
to
the
nation
.
Even
Hank
Rearden
.
That
discourages
a
great
many
recalcitrants
and
helps
to
keep
them
in
line
.
"
She
leaned
back
and
asked
in
the
tone
of
a
casual
aside
,
"
Have
you
ever
asked
him
why
he
signed
?
"
Dagny
did
not
answer
;
she
did
not
seem
to
hear
that
it
was
a
question
;
she
sat
still
and
her
face
was
expressionless
,
but
her
eyes
seemed
too
large
and
they
were
fixed
on
Lillian
’
s
,
as
if
she
were
now
intent
upon
nothing
but
hearing
Lillian
to
the
end
.
"
No
,
I
didn
’
t
think
you
knew
it
.
I
didn
’
t
think
that
he
would
ever
tell
you
,
"
said
Lillian
,
her
voice
smoother
,
as
if
recognizing
the
signposts
and
sliding
comfortably
down
the
anticipated
course
.
"
Yet
you
must
learn
the
reason
that
made
him
sign
—
because
it
is
the
same
reason
that
will
make
you
appear
on
Bertram
Scudder
’
s
broadcast
tonight
.
"
She
paused
,
wishing
to
be
urged
;
Dagny
waited
.
"
It
is
a
reason
,
"
said
Lillian
,
"
which
should
please
you
—
as
far
as
my
husband
’
s
action
is
concerned
.
Consider
what
that
signature
meant
to
him
.
Rearden
Metal
was
his
greatest
achievement
,
the
summation
of
the
best
in
his
life
,
the
final
symbol
of
his
pride
—
and
my
husband
,
as
you
have
reason
to
know
,
is
an
extremely
passionate
man
,
his
pride
in
himself
being
,
perhaps
,
his
greatest
passion
.
Rearden
Metal
was
more
than
an
achievement
to
him
,
it
was
the
symbol
of
his
ability
to
achieve
,
of
his
independence
,
of
his
struggle
,
of
his
rise
.
It
was
his
property
,
his
by
right
—
and
you
know
what
rights
mean
to
a
man
as
strict
as
he
,
and
what
property
means
to
a
man
as
possessive
.
He
would
have
gladly
died
to
defend
it
,
rather
than
surrender
it
to
the
men
he
despised
.
This
is
what
it
meant
to
him
—
and
this
is
what
he
gave
up
.
You
will
be
glad
to
know
that
he
gave
it
up
for
your
sake
,
Miss
Taggart
.
For
the
sake
of
your
reputation
and
your
honor
.
He
signed
the
Gift
Certificate
surrendering
Rearden
Metal
—
under
the
threat
that
the
adultery
he
was
carrying
on
with
you
would
be
exposed
to
the
eyes
of
the
world
.
Oh
yes
,
we
had
full
proof
of
it
,
in
every
intimate
detail
.
I
believe
that
you
hold
a
philosophy
which
disapproves
of
sacrifice
—
but
in
this
case
,
you
are
most
certainly
a
woman
,
so
I
’
m
sure
that
you
will
feel
gratification
at
the
magnitude
of
the
sacrifice
a
man
has
made
for
the
privilege
of
using
your
body
.
You
have
undoubtedly
taken
great
pleasure
in
the
nights
which
he
spent
in
your
bed
.
You
may
now
take
pleasure
in
the
knowledge
of
what
those
nights
have
cost
him
.
And
since
—
you
like
bluntness
,
don
’
t
you
,
Miss
Taggart
?
—
since
your
chosen
status
is
that
of
a
whore
,
I
take
my
hat
off
to
you
in
regard
to
the
price
you
exacted
,
which
none
of
your
sisters
could
ever
have
hoped
to
match
.
"
Lillian
’
s
voice
had
kept
growing
reluctantly
sharper
,
like
a
drill
head
that
kept
breaking
by
being
unable
to
find
the
line
of
the
fault
in
the
stone
.
Dagny
was
still
looking
at
her
,
but
the
intensity
had
vanished
from
Dagny
’
s
eyes
and
posture
.
Lillian
wondered
why
she
felt
as
if
Dagny
’
s
face
were
hit
by
a
spotlight
.
She
could
detect
no
particular
expression
,
it
was
simply
a
face
in
natural
repose
—
and
the
clarity
seemed
to
come
from
its
structure
,
from
the
precision
of
its
sharp
planes
,
the
firmness
of
the
mouth
,
the
steadiness
of
the
eyes
.
She
could
not
decipher
the
expression
of
the
eyes
,
it
seemed
incongruous
,
it
resembled
the
calm
,
not
of
a
woman
,
but
of
a
scholar
,
it
had
that
peculiar
,
luminous
quality
which
is
the
fearlessness
of
satisfied
knowledge
.
