I
got
the
National
Alliance
of
Railroads
to
suspend
the
deadline
and
permit
Dan
Conway
to
operate
his
road
for
another
year
—
that
would
have
given
us
time
—
but
he
’
s
refused
to
do
it
!
I
tried
to
get
Ellis
Wyatt
and
his
bunch
of
friends
in
Colorado
to
demand
that
Washington
order
Conway
to
continue
operations
—
but
all
of
them
,
Wyatt
and
all
the
rest
of
those
bastards
,
refused
!
It
’
s
their
skin
,
worse
than
ours
,
they
’
re
sure
to
go
down
the
drain
—
but
they
’
ve
refused
!
"
She
smiled
briefly
,
but
made
no
comment
.
"
Now
there
’
s
nothing
left
for
us
to
do
!
We
’
re
caught
.
We
can
’
t
give
up
that
branch
and
we
can
’
t
complete
it
.
We
can
’
t
stop
or
go
on
.
We
have
no
money
.
Nobody
will
touch
us
with
a
ten
-
foot
pole
!
What
have
we
got
left
without
the
Rio
Norte
Line
?
But
we
can
’
t
finish
it
.
We
’
d
be
boycotted
.
We
’
d
be
blacklisted
.
That
union
of
track
workers
would
sue
us
.
They
would
,
there
’
s
a
law
about
it
.
We
can
’
t
complete
that
Line
!
Christ
!
What
are
we
going
to
do
?
"
She
waited
.
"
Through
,
Jim
?
"
she
asked
coldly
.
"
If
you
are
,
I
’
ll
tell
you
what
we
’
re
going
to
do
.
"
He
kept
silent
,
looking
up
at
her
from
under
his
heavy
eyelids
.
"
This
is
not
a
proposal
,
Jim
.
It
’
s
an
ultimatum
.
Just
listen
and
accept
.
I
am
going
to
complete
the
construction
of
the
Rio
Norte
Line
.
I
personally
,
not
Taggart
Transcontinental
.
I
will
take
a
leave
of
absence
from
the
job
of
Vice
-
President
.
I
will
form
a
company
in
my
own
name
.
Your
Board
will
turn
the
Rio
Norte
Line
over
to
me
.
I
will
act
as
my
own
contractor
.
I
will
get
my
own
financing
.
I
will
take
full
charge
and
sole
responsibility
.
I
will
complete
the
Line
on
time
.
After
you
have
seen
how
the
Rearden
Metal
rails
can
take
it
,
I
will
transfer
the
Line
back
to
Taggart
Transcontinental
and
I
’
ll
return
to
my
job
.
That
is
all
.
"
He
was
looking
at
her
silently
,
dangling
a
bedroom
slipper
on
the
tip
of
his
foot
.
She
had
never
supposed
that
hope
could
look
ugly
in
a
man
’
s
face
,
but
it
did
:
it
was
mixed
with
cunning
.
She
turned
her
eyes
away
from
him
,
wondering
how
it
was
possible
that
a
man
’
s
first
thought
in
such
a
moment
could
be
a
search
for
something
to
put
over
on
her
.
Then
,
preposterously
,
the
first
thing
he
said
,
his
voice
anxious
,
was
,
"
But
who
will
run
Taggart
Transcontinental
in
the
meantime
?
"
She
chuckled
;
the
sound
astonished
her
,
it
seemed
old
in
its
bitterness
.
