There
was
no
one
in
sight
;
there
was
nothing
but
a
string
of
blue
lights
glistening
on
walls
of
damp
granite
.
Rearden
could
not
fight
the
gangs
who
demanded
the
laws
.
The
choice
was
to
fight
them
or
to
keep
his
mills
open
.
He
had
lost
his
supply
of
iron
ore
.
He
had
to
fight
one
battle
or
the
other
.
There
was
no
time
for
both
.
He
had
found
,
on
his
return
,
that
a
scheduled
shipment
of
ore
had
not
been
delivered
.
No
word
or
explanation
had
been
heard
from
Larkin
.
When
summoned
to
Rearden
’
s
office
,
Larkin
appeared
three
days
later
than
the
appointment
made
,
offering
no
apology
.
He
said
,
not
looking
at
Rearden
,
his
mouth
drawn
tightly
into
an
expression
of
rancorous
dignity
:
"
After
all
,
you
can
’
t
order
people
to
come
running
to
your
office
any
time
you
please
.
"
Rearden
spoke
slowly
and
carefully
.
"
Why
wasn
’
t
the
ore
delivered
?
"
"
I
won
’
t
take
abuse
,
I
simply
won
’
t
take
any
abuse
for
something
I
couldn
’
t
help
.
I
can
run
a
mine
just
as
well
as
you
ran
it
,
every
bit
as
well
,
I
did
everything
you
did
—
I
don
’
t
know
why
something
keeps
going
wrong
unexpectedly
all
the
time
.
I
can
’
t
be
blamed
for
the
unexpected
.
"
"
To
whom
did
you
ship
your
ore
last
month
?
"
"
I
intended
to
ship
you
your
share
of
it
,
I
fully
intended
it
,
but
I
couldn
’
t
help
it
if
we
lost
ten
days
of
production
last
month
on
account
of
the
rainstorm
in
the
whole
of
north
Minnesota
—
I
intended
to
ship
you
the
ore
,
so
you
can
’
t
blame
me
,
because
my
intention
was
completely
honest
.
"
"
If
one
of
my
blast
furnaces
goes
down
,
will
I
be
able
to
keep
it
going
by
feeding
your
intention
into
it
?
"
"
That
’
s
why
nobody
can
deal
with
you
or
talk
to
you
—
because
you
’
re
inhuman
.
