When
she
looked
at
the
darkness
ahead
,
another
memory
rose
in
her
mind
the
moment
when
,
circling
above
the
Afton
airport
,
she
had
seen
the
silver
body
of
a
plane
rise
like
a
phoenix
from
the
darkness
of
the
earth
.
She
knew
that
now
,
at
this
hour
,
their
plane
was
carrying
all
that
was
left
of
New
York
City
.
She
looked
ahead
.
The
earth
would
be
as
empty
as
the
space
where
their
propeller
was
cutting
an
unobstructed
path
as
empty
and
as
free
.
She
knew
what
Nat
Taggart
had
felt
at
his
start
and
why
now
,
for
the
first
time
,
she
was
following
him
in
full
loyalty
:
the
confident
sense
of
facing
a
void
and
of
knowing
that
one
has
a
continent
to
build
.

She
felt
the
whole
struggle
of
her
past
rising
before
her
and
dropping
away
,
leaving
her
here
,
on
the
height
of
this
moment
.
She
smiled
and
the
words
in
her
mind
,
appraising
and
sealing
the
past
,
were
the
words
of
courage
,
pride
and
dedication
,
which
most
men
had
never
understood
,
the
words
of
a
businessman
s
language
:
"
Price
no
object
.
"
She
did
not
gasp
and
she
felt
no
tremor
when
,
in
the
darkness
below
,
she
saw
a
small
string
of
lighted
dots
struggling
slowly
westward
through
the
void
,
with
the
long
,
bright
dash
of
a
headlight
groping
to
protect
the
safety
of
its
way
;
she
felt
nothing
,
even
though
it
was
a
train
and
she
knew
that
it
had
no
destination
but
the
void
.
She
turned
to
Galt
.
He
was
watching
her
face
,
as
if
he
had
been
following
her
thoughts
.
She
saw
the
reflection
of
her
smile
in
his
.
"
It
s
the
end
,
"
she
said
.
"
It
s
the
beginning
,
"
he
answered
.

Then
they
lay
still
,
leaning
back
in
their
chairs
,
silently
looking
at
each
other
.
Then
their
persons
filled
each
other
s
awareness
,
as
the
sum
and
meaning
of
the
future
but
the
sum
included
the
knowledge
of
all
that
had
had
to
be
earned
,
before
the
person
of
another
being
could
come
to
embody
the
value
of
one
s
existence
.
New
York
was
far
behind
them
,
when
they
heard
Danneskjold
answer
a
call
from
the
radio
:
"
Yes
,
he
s
awake
.
I
don
t
think
he
ll
sleep
tonight
.
.
.
Yes
,
I
think
he
can
.
"
He
turned
to
glance
over
his
shoulder
.
"
John
,
Dr
.
Akston
would
like
to
speak
to
you
.
"
"
What
?
Is
he
on
one
of
those
planes
behind
us
?
"
