She
had
started
walking
,
cautiously
,
very
slowly
.
She
heard
Lillian
s
words
and
stopped
.
Lillian
had
said
it
many
times
this
evening
,
in
answer
to
the
same
question
,
but
it
was
the
first
time
that
Dagny
heard
it
.
"
This
?
"
Lillian
was
saying
,
extending
her
arm
with
the
metal
bracelet
for
the
inspection
of
two
smartly
groomed
women
.
"
Why
,
no
,
it
s
not
from
a
hardware
store
,
it
s
a
very
special
gift
from
my
husband
.
Oh
,
yes
,
of
course
it
s
hideous
.
But
don
t
you
see
?
It
s
supposed
to
be
priceless
.
Of
course
,
I
d
exchange
it
for
a
common
diamond
bracelet
any
time
,
but
somehow
nobody
will
offer
me
one
for
it
,
even
though
it
is
so
very
,
very
valuable
.
Why
?
My
dear
,
it
s
the
first
thing
ever
made
of
Rearden
Metal
.

Dagny
did
not
see
the
room
.
She
did
not
hear
the
music
.
She
felt
the
pressure
of
dead
stillness
against
her
eardrums
.
She
did
not
know
the
moment
that
preceded
,
or
the
moments
that
were
to
follow
.
She
did
not
know
those
involved
,
neither
herself
,
nor
Lillian
,
nor
Rearden
,
nor
the
meaning
of
her
own
action
.
It
was
a
single
instant
,
blasted
out
of
context
.
She
had
heard
.
She
was
looking
at
the
bracelet
of
green
-
blue
metal
.
She
felt
the
movement
of
something
being
torn
off
her
wrist
,
and
she
heard
her
own
voice
saying
in
the
great
stillness
,
very
calmly
,
a
voice
cold
as
a
skeleton
,
naked
of
emotion
,
"
If
you
are
not
the
coward
that
I
think
you
are
,
you
will
exchange
it
.
"
On
the
palm
of
her
hand
,
she
was
extending
her
diamond
bracelet
to
Lillian
.
"
You
re
not
serious
,
Miss
Taggart
?
"
said
a
woman
s
voice
.

It
was
not
Lillian
s
voice
.
Lillian
s
eyes
were
looking
straight
at
her
.
She
saw
them
.
Lillian
knew
that
she
was
serious
.
"
Give
me
that
bracelet
,
"
said
Dagny
,
lifting
her
palm
higher
,
the
diamond
band
glittering
across
it
.
"
This
is
horrible
!
"
cried
some
woman
.
It
was
strange
that
the
cry
stood
out
so
sharply
.
