What
he
knew
,
what
he
had
discovered
tonight
,
was
that
his
recaptured
love
of
existence
had
not
been
given
back
to
him
by
the
return
of
his
desire
for
her
but
that
the
desire
had
returned
after
he
had
regained
his
world
,
the
love
,
the
value
and
the
sense
of
his
world
and
that
the
desire
was
not
an
answer
to
her
body
,
but
a
celebration
of
himself
and
of
his
will
to
live
.
He
did
not
know
it
,
he
did
not
think
of
it
,
he
was
past
the
need
of
words
,
but
in
the
moment
when
he
felt
the
response
of
her
body
to
his
,
he
felt
also
the
unadmitted
knowledge
that
that
which
he
had
called
her
depravity
was
her
highest
virtue
this
capacity
of
hers
to
feel
the
joy
of
being
,
as
he
felt
it
.
The
calendar
in
the
sky
beyond
the
window
of
her
office
said
:
September
2
.
Dagny
leaned
wearily
across
her
desk
.
The
first
light
to
snap
on
at
the
approach
of
dusk
was
always
the
ray
that
hit
the
calendar
;
when
the
white
-
glowing
page
appeared
above
the
roofs
,
it
blurred
the
city
,
hastening
the
darkness
.

She
had
looked
at
that
distant
page
every
evening
of
the
months
behind
her
.
Your
days
are
numbered
,
it
had
seemed
to
say
as
if
it
were
marking
a
progression
toward
something
it
knew
,
but
she
didn
t
.
Once
,
it
had
clocked
her
race
to
build
the
John
Galt
Line
;
now
it
was
clocking
her
race
against
an
unknown
destroyer
.
One
by
one
,
the
men
who
had
built
new
towns
in
Colorado
,
had
departed
into
some
silent
unknown
,
from
which
no
voice
or
person
had
yet
returned
.
The
towns
they
had
left
were
dying
.
Some
of
the
factories
they
built
had
remained
ownerless
and
locked
;
others
had
been
seized
by
the
local
authorities
;
the
machines
in
both
stood
still
.
She
had
felt
as
if
a
dark
map
of
Colorado
were
spread
before
her
like
a
traffic
control
panel
,
with
a
few
lights
scattered
through
its
mountains
.
One
after
another
,
the
lights
had
gone
out
.
One
after
another
,
the
men
had
vanished
.
There
had
been
a
pattern
about
it
,
which
she
felt
,
but
could
not
define
;
she
had
become
able
to
predict
,
almost
with
certainty
,
who
would
go
next
and
when
;
she
was
unable
to
grasp
the
"
why
?

Of
the
men
who
had
once
greeted
her
descent
from
the
cab
of
an
engine
on
the
platform
of
Wyatt
Junction
,
only
Ted
Nielsen
was
left
,
still
running
the
plant
of
Nielsen
Motors
.
"
Ted
,
you
won
t
be
the
next
one
to
go
?
"
she
had
asked
him
,
on
his
recent
visit
to
New
York
;
she
had
asked
it
,
trying
to
smile
.
He
had
answered
grimly
,
"
I
hope
not
.
"
"
What
do
you
mean
,
you
hope
?
aren
t
you
sure
?
"
He
had
said
slowly
,
heavily
,
"
Dagny
,
I
ve
always
thought
that
I
d
rather
die
than
stop
working
.
But
so
did
the
men
who
re
gone
.
It
seems
impossible
to
me
that
I
could
ever
want
to
quit
.
But
a
year
ago
,
it
seemed
impossible
that
they
ever
could
.
Those
men
were
my
friends
.
They
knew
what
their
going
would
do
to
us
,
the
survivors
.
They
would
not
have
gone
like
that
,
without
a
word
,
leaving
to
us
the
added
terror
of
the
inexplicable
unless
they
had
some
reason
of
supreme
importance
.
A
month
ago
,
Roger
Marsh
,
of
Marsh
Electric
,
told
me
that
he
d
have
himself
chained
to
his
desk
,
so
that
he
wouldn
t
be
able
to
leave
it
,
no
matter
what
ghastly
temptation
struck
him
.
He
was
furious
with
anger
at
the
men
who
d
left
.
He
swore
to
me
that
he
d
never
do
it
.
And
if
it
s
something
that
I
can
t
resist
,
he
said
,
I
swear
that
I
ll
keep
enough
of
my
mind
to
leave
you
a
letter
and
give
you
some
hint
of
what
it
is
,
so
that
you
won
t
have
to
rack
your
brain
in
the
kind
of
dread
we
re
both
feeling
now
.
That
s
what
he
swore
.
Two
weeks
ago
,
he
went
.
He
left
me
no
letter
.
.
.
Dagny
,
I
can
t
tell
what
I
ll
do
when
I
see
it
whatever
it
was
that
they
saw
when
they
went
.
