He
turned
to
his
next
caller
and
said
,
with
a
gesture
of
invitation
toward
his
office
,
"
How
do
you
do
.
Come
in
.
"
He
would
think
of
it
later
,
he
thought
;
one
moves
step
by
step
and
one
must
keep
moving
.
For
the
moment
,
with
an
unnatural
clarity
,
with
a
brutal
simplification
that
made
it
almost
easy
,
his
consciousness
contained
nothing
but
one
thought
:
It
must
not
stop
me
.
The
sentence
hung
alone
,
with
no
past
and
no
future
.
He
did
not
think
of
what
it
was
that
must
not
stop
him
,
or
why
this
sentence
was
such
a
crucial
absolute
.
It
held
him
and
he
obeyed
.
He
went
step
by
step
.
He
completed
his
schedule
of
appointments
,
as
scheduled
.
It
was
late
when
his
last
caller
departed
and
he
came
out
of
his
office
.
The
rest
of
his
staff
had
gone
home
.
Miss
Ives
sat
alone
at
her
desk
in
an
empty
room
.
She
sat
straight
and
stiff
,
her
hands
clasped
tightly
together
in
her
lap
.
Her
head
was
not
lowered
,
but
held
rigidly
level
,
and
her
face
seemed
frozen
.

Tears
were
running
down
her
cheeks
,
with
no
sound
,
with
no
facial
movement
,
against
her
resistance
,
beyond
control
.
She
saw
him
and
said
dryly
,
guiltily
,
in
apology
,
"
I
m
sorry
,
Mr
.
Rearden
,
"
not
attempting
the
futile
pretense
of
hiding
her
face
.
He
approached
her
.
"
Thank
you
,
"
he
said
gently
.
She
looked
up
at
him
,
astonished
.

He
smiled
.
"
But
don
t
you
think
you
re
underestimating
me
,
Gwen
?
Isn
t
it
too
soon
to
cry
over
me
?
"
"
I
could
have
taken
the
rest
of
it
,
"
she
whispered
,
"
but
they
"
she
pointed
at
the
newspapers
on
her
desk
"
they
re
calling
it
a
victory
for
anti
-
greed
.
"
He
laughed
aloud
.
"
I
can
see
where
such
a
distortion
of
the
English
language
would
make
you
furious
,
"
he
said
.
"
But
what
else
?
"
