There
were
coils
of
cigarette
smoke
weaving
through
the
air
of
the
drawing
room
,
among
the
velvet
drapes
and
bare
,
polished
tables
.
With
its
costly
furniture
and
the
absence
of
all
personal
belongings
,
the
room
had
that
air
of
dreary
luxury
which
pertains
to
transient
occupancy
,
as
dismal
as
the
air
of
a
flophouse
.
Five
figures
rose
in
the
fog
at
his
entrance
:
Wesley
Mouch
,
Eugene
Lawson
,
James
Taggart
,
Dr
.
Floyd
Ferris
and
a
slim
,
slouching
man
who
looked
like
a
rat
-
faced
tennis
player
and
was
introduced
to
him
as
Tinky
Holloway
.
"
All
right
,
"
said
Rearden
,
cutting
off
the
greetings
,
the
smiles
,
the
offers
of
drinks
and
the
comments
on
the
national
emergency
,
"
what
did
you
want
?
"
"
We
’
re
here
as
your
friends
,
Mr
.
Rearden
,
"
said
Tinky
Holloway
,
"
purely
as
your
friends
,
for
an
informal
conversation
with
a
view
to
closer
mutual
teamwork
.
"
"
We
’
re
anxious
to
avail
ourselves
of
your
outstanding
ability
,
"
said
Lawson
,
"
and
your
expert
advice
on
the
country
’
s
industrial
problems
.
"
"
It
’
s
men
like
you
that
we
need
in
Washington
,
"
said
Dr
.
Ferris
.
"
There
’
s
no
reason
why
you
should
have
remained
an
outsider
for
so
long
,
when
your
voice
is
needed
at
the
top
level
of
national
leadership
.
"
The
sickening
thing
about
it
,
thought
Rearden
,
was
that
the
speeches
were
only
half
-
lies
;
the
other
half
,
in
their
tone
of
hysterical
urgency
,
was
the
unstated
wish
to
have
it
somehow
be
true
.
"
What
did
you
want
?
"
he
asked
.
"
Why
.
.
.
to
listen
to
you
,
Mr
.
Rearden
,
"
said
Wesley
Mouch
,
the
jerk
of
his
features
imitating
a
frightened
smile
;
the
smile
was
faked
,
the
fear
was
real
.
"
We
.
.
.
we
want
the
benefit
of
your
opinion
on
the
nation
’
s
industrial
crisis
.
