The
Terminal
manager
was
absent
.
The
chief
engineer
could
not
be
found
;
he
had
been
seen
at
the
Terminal
two
hours
ago
,
not
since
.
The
assistant
manager
had
exhausted
his
power
of
initiative
by
volunteering
to
call
her
.
The
others
volunteered
nothing
.
The
signal
engineer
was
a
college
-
boyish
man
in
his
thirties
,
who
kept
saying
aggressively
,
"
But
this
has
never
happened
before
,
Miss
Taggart
!
The
interlocker
has
never
failed
.
It
’
s
not
supposed
to
fail
.
We
know
our
jobs
,
we
can
take
care
of
it
as
well
as
anybody
can
—
but
not
if
it
breaks
down
when
it
’
s
not
supposed
to
!
"
She
could
not
tell
whether
the
dispatcher
,
an
elderly
man
with
years
of
railroad
work
behind
him
,
still
retained
his
intelligence
but
chose
to
hide
it
,
or
whether
months
of
suppressing
it
had
choked
it
for
good
,
granting
him
the
safety
of
stagnation
.
"
We
don
’
t
know
what
to
do
,
Miss
Taggart
.
"
"
We
don
’
t
know
whom
to
call
for
what
sort
of
permission
.
"
"
There
are
no
rules
to
cover
an
emergency
of
this
kind
.
"
"
There
aren
’
t
even
any
rules
about
who
’
s
to
lay
down
the
rules
for
it
!
"
She
listened
,
she
reached
for
the
telephone
without
a
word
of
explanation
,
she
ordered
the
operator
to
get
her
the
operating
vice
-
President
of
the
Atlantic
Southern
in
Chicago
,
to
get
him
at
his
home
and
out
of
bed
,
if
necessary
.
"
George
?
Dagny
Taggart
,
"
she
said
,
when
the
voice
of
her
competitor
came
on
the
wire
.
"
Will
you
lend
me
the
signal
engineer
of
your
Chicago
terminal
,
Charles
Murray
,
for
twenty
-
four
hours
?
.
.
.
Yes
.
.
.
Right
.
.
.
Put
him
aboard
a
plane
and
get
him
here
as
fast
as
you
can
.
Tell
him
we
’
ll
pay
three
thousand
dollars
.
.
.
Yes
,
for
the
one
day
.
.
.
Yes
,
as
bad
as
that
.
.
.
Yes
,
I
’
ll
pay
him
in
cash
,
out
of
my
own
pocket
,
if
necessary
.
I
’
ll
pay
whatever
it
takes
to
bribe
his
way
aboard
a
plane
,
but
get
him
on
the
first
plane
out
of
Chicago
.
.
.
No
,
George
,
not
one
—
not
a
single
mind
left
on
Taggart
Transcontinental
.
.
.
Yes
,
I
’
ll
get
all
the
papers
,
exemptions
,
exceptions
and
emergency
permissions
.
.
.
Thanks
,
George
.
So
long
.
