She
stood
up
.
She
saw
her
clothes
on
the
floor
and
kicked
them
aside
.
She
stood
facing
him
,
naked
.
She
said
:
"
I
want
you
,
Hank
.
I
’
m
much
more
of
an
animal
than
you
think
.
I
wanted
you
from
the
first
moment
I
saw
you
—
and
the
only
thing
I
’
m
ashamed
of
is
that
I
did
not
know
it
.
I
did
not
know
why
,
for
two
years
,
the
brightest
moments
I
found
were
the
ones
in
your
office
,
where
I
could
lift
my
head
to
look
up
at
you
.
I
did
not
know
the
nature
of
what
I
felt
in
your
presence
,
nor
the
reason
.
I
know
it
now
.
That
is
all
I
want
,
Hank
.
I
want
you
in
my
bed
—
and
you
are
free
of
me
for
all
the
rest
of
your
time
.
There
’
s
nothing
you
’
ll
have
to
pretend
—
don
’
t
think
of
me
,
don
’
t
feel
,
don
’
t
care
—
I
do
not
want
your
mind
,
your
will
,
your
being
or
your
soul
,
so
long
as
it
’
s
to
me
that
you
will
come
for
that
lowest
one
of
your
desires
.
I
am
an
animal
who
wants
nothing
but
that
sensation
of
pleasure
which
you
despise
-
-
but
I
want
it
from
you
.
You
’
d
give
up
any
height
of
virtue
for
it
,
while
I
—
I
haven
’
t
any
to
give
up
.
There
’
s
none
I
seek
or
wish
to
reach
.
I
am
so
low
that
I
would
exchange
the
greatest
sight
of
beauty
in
the
world
for
the
sight
of
your
figure
in
the
cab
of
a
railroad
engine
.
And
seeing
it
,
I
would
not
be
able
to
see
it
indifferently
.
You
don
’
t
have
to
fear
that
you
’
re
now
dependent
upon
me
.
It
’
s
I
who
will
depend
on
any
whim
of
yours
.
You
’
ll
have
me
any
time
you
wish
,
anywhere
,
on
any
terms
.
Did
you
call
it
the
obscenity
of
my
talent
?
It
’
s
such
that
it
gives
you
a
safer
hold
on
me
than
on
any
other
property
you
own
.
You
may
dispose
of
me
as
you
please
—
I
’
m
not
afraid
to
admit
it
—
I
have
nothing
to
protect
from
you
and
nothing
to
reserve
.
You
think
that
this
is
a
threat
to
your
achievement
,
but
it
is
not
to
mine
.
I
will
sit
at
my
desk
,
and
work
,
and
when
the
things
around
me
get
hard
to
bear
,
I
will
think
that
for
my
reward
I
will
be
in
your
bed
that
night
.
Did
you
call
it
depravity
?
I
am
much
more
depraved
than
you
are
:
you
hold
it
as
your
guilt
,
and
I
—
as
my
pride
.
I
’
m
more
proud
of
it
than
of
anything
I
’
ve
done
,
more
proud
than
of
building
the
Line
.
If
I
’
m
asked
to
name
my
proudest
attainment
,
I
will
say
:
I
have
slept
with
Hank
Rearden
.
I
had
earned
it
.
"
When
he
threw
her
down
on
the
bed
,
their
bodies
met
like
the
two
sounds
that
broke
against
each
other
in
the
air
of
the
room
:
the
sound
of
his
tortured
moan
and
of
her
laughter
.
The
rain
was
invisible
in
the
darkness
of
the
streets
,
but
it
hung
like
the
sparkling
fringe
of
a
lampshade
under
the
corner
light
.
Fumbling
in
his
pockets
,
James
Taggart
discovered
that
he
had
lost
his
handkerchief
.
He
swore
half
-
aloud
,
with
resentful
malice
,
as
if
the
loss
,
the
rain
and
his
head
cold
were
someone
’
s
personal
conspiracy
against
him
.
There
was
a
thin
gruel
of
mud
on
the
pavements
;
he
felt
a
gluey
suction
under
his
shoe
soles
and
a
chill
slipping
down
past
his
collar
.
He
did
not
want
to
walk
or
to
stop
.
He
had
no
place
to
go
.
Leaving
his
office
,
after
the
meeting
of
the
Board
of
Directors
,
he
had
realized
suddenly
that
there
were
no
other
appointments
,
that
he
had
a
long
evening
ahead
and
no
one
to
help
him
kill
it
.
The
front
pages
of
the
newspapers
were
screaming
of
the
triumph
of
the
John
Galt
Line
,
as
the
radios
had
screamed
it
yesterday
and
all
through
the
night
.
The
name
of
Taggart
Transcontinental
was
stretched
in
headlines
across
the
continent
,
like
its
track
,
and
he
had
smiled
in
answer
to
the
congratulations
.
He
had
smiled
,
seated
at
the
head
of
the
long
table
,
at
the
Board
meeting
,
while
the
Directors
spoke
about
the
soaring
rise
of
the
Taggart
stock
on
the
Exchange
,
while
they
cautiously
asked
to
see
his
written
agreement
with
his
sister
—
just
in
case
,
they
said
—
and
commented
that
it
was
fine
,
it
was
hole
proof
,
there
was
no
doubt
but
that
she
would
have
to
turn
the
Line
over
to
Taggart
Transcontinental
at
once
,
they
spoke
about
their
brilliant
future
and
the
debt
of
gratitude
which
the
company
owed
to
James
Taggart
.
He
had
sat
through
the
meeting
,
wishing
it
were
over
with
,
so
that
he
could
go
home
.
Then
he
had
stepped
out
into
the
street
and
realized
that
home
was
the
one
place
where
he
dared
not
go
tonight
.
He
could
not
be
alone
,
not
in
the
next
few
hours
,
yet
there
was
nobody
to
call
.
He
did
not
want
to
see
people
.
He
kept
seeing
the
eyes
of
the
men
of
the
Board
when
they
spoke
about
his
greatness
:
a
sly
,
filmy
look
that
held
contempt
for
him
and
,
more
terrifyingly
,
for
themselves
.
