But
the
odd
,
glowing
warmth
in
his
mind
,
like
the
feel
of
a
distant
handshake
,
was
the
thought
that
in
a
secret
safe
of
his
bedroom
there
lay
a
bar
of
solid
gold
,
given
to
him
by
a
gold
-
haired
pirate
.
Next
day
,
on
November
1
,
he
received
a
telephone
call
from
Washington
,
from
a
bureaucrat
whose
voice
seemed
to
come
sliding
down
the
wire
on
its
knees
in
protestations
of
apology
.
"
A
mistake
,
Mr
.
Rearden
!
It
was
nothing
but
an
unfortunate
mistake
!
That
attachment
was
not
intended
for
you
.
You
know
how
it
is
nowadays
,
with
the
inefficiency
of
all
office
help
and
with
the
amount
of
red
tape
we
’
re
tangled
in
,
some
bungling
fool
mixed
the
records
and
processed
the
attachment
order
against
you
—
when
it
wasn
’
t
your
case
at
all
,
it
was
,
in
fact
,
the
case
of
a
soap
manufacturer
!
Please
accept
our
apologies
,
Mr
.
Rearden
,
our
deepest
personal
apologies
at
the
top
level
.
"
The
voice
slid
to
a
slight
,
expectant
pause
.
"
Mr
.
Rearden
.
.
.
?
"
"
I
’
m
listening
.
"
"
I
can
’
t
tell
you
how
sorry
we
are
to
have
caused
you
any
embarrassment
or
inconvenience
.
And
with
all
those
damn
formalities
that
we
have
to
go
through
—
you
know
how
it
is
,
red
tape
!
—
it
will
take
a
few
days
,
perhaps
a
week
,
to
de
-
process
that
order
and
to
lift
the
attachment
.
Mr
.
Rearden
?
"
"
I
heard
you
.
"
"
We
’
re
desperately
sorry
and
ready
to
make
any
amends
within
our
power
.
You
will
,
of
course
,
be
entitled
to
claim
damages
for
any
inconvenience
this
might
cause
you
,
and
we
are
prepared
to
pay
.
We
won
’
t
contest
it
.
You
will
,
of
course
,
file
such
a
claim
and
—
"
"
I
have
not
said
that
.
"
"
Uh
?
No
,
you
haven
’
t
.
.
.
that
is
.
.
.
well
,
what
have
you
said
,
Mr
.
Rearden
?
"
"
I
have
said
nothing
.
"
Late
on
the
next
afternoon
,
another
voice
came
pleading
from
Washington
.
This
one
did
not
seem
to
slide
,
but
to
bounce
on
the
telephone
wire
with
the
gay
virtuosity
of
a
tight
-
rope
walker
.
It
introduced
itself
as
Tinky
Holloway
and
pleaded
that
Rearden
attend
a
conference
,
"
an
informal
little
conference
,
just
a
few
of
us
,
the
top
-
level
few
,
"
to
be
held
in
New
York
,
at
the
Wayne
-
Falkland
Hotel
,
day
after
next
.
"
There
have
been
so
many
misunderstandings
in
the
past
few
weeks
!
"
said
Tinky
Holloway
.
"
Such
unfortunate
misunderstandings
—
and
so
unnecessary
!
We
could
straighten
everything
out
in
a
jiffy
,
Mr
.
Rearden
,
if
we
had
a
chance
to
have
a
little
talk
with
you
.
We
’
re
extremely
anxious
to
see
you
.
"
"
You
can
issue
a
subpoena
for
me
any
time
you
wish
.
"
"
Oh
,
no
!
no
!
no
!
"
The
voice
sounded
frightened
.
"
No
,
Mr
.
Rearden
—
why
think
of
such
things
?
You
don
’
t
understand
us
,
we
’
re
anxious
to
meet
you
on
a
friendly
basis
,
we
’
re
seeking
nothing
but
your
voluntary
co
-
operation
.
"
Holloway
paused
tensely
,
wondering
whether
he
had
heard
the
faint
sound
of
a
distant
chuckle
;
he
waited
,
but
heard
nothing
else
.
"
Mr
.
Rearden
?
"
"
Yes
?
"
"
Surely
,
Mr
.
Rearden
,
at
a
time
like
this
,
a
conference
with
us
could
be
to
your
great
advantage
.
