She
protested
,
in
astonishment
,
against
the
low
monthly
salary
he
quoted
.
"
Miss
Taggart
,
"
he
said
,
"
if
there
’
s
something
that
I
won
’
t
take
,
it
’
s
something
for
nothing
.
I
don
’
t
know
how
long
you
might
have
to
pay
me
,
or
whether
you
’
ll
get
anything
at
all
in
return
.
I
’
ll
gamble
on
my
own
mind
.
I
won
’
t
let
anybody
else
do
it
.
I
don
’
t
collect
for
an
intention
.
But
I
sure
do
intend
to
collect
for
goods
delivered
.
If
I
succeed
,
that
’
s
when
I
’
ll
skin
you
alive
,
because
what
I
want
then
is
a
percentage
,
and
it
’
s
going
to
be
high
,
but
it
’
s
going
to
be
worth
your
while
.
"
When
he
named
the
percentage
he
wanted
,
she
laughed
.
"
That
is
skinning
me
alive
and
it
will
be
worth
my
while
.
Okay
.
"
They
agreed
that
it
was
to
be
her
private
project
and
that
he
was
to
be
her
private
employee
;
neither
of
them
wanted
to
have
to
deal
with
the
interference
of
the
Taggart
Research
Department
.
He
asked
to
remain
in
Utah
,
in
his
post
of
watchman
,
where
he
had
all
the
laboratory
equipment
and
all
the
privacy
he
needed
.
The
project
was
to
remain
confidential
between
them
,
until
and
unless
he
succeeded
.
"
Miss
Taggart
,
"
he
said
in
conclusion
,
"
I
don
’
t
know
how
many
years
it
will
take
me
to
solve
this
,
if
ever
.
But
I
know
that
if
I
spend
the
rest
of
my
life
on
it
and
succeed
,
I
will
die
satisfied
.
"
He
added
,
"
There
’
s
only
one
thing
that
I
want
more
than
to
solve
it
:
it
’
s
to
meet
the
man
who
has
.
"
Once
a
month
,
since
his
return
to
Utah
,
she
had
sent
him
a
check
and
he
had
sent
her
a
report
on
his
work
.
It
was
too
early
to
hope
,
but
his
reports
were
the
only
bright
points
in
the
stagnant
fog
of
her
days
in
the
office
.
She
raised
her
head
,
as
she
finished
reading
his
pages
.
The
calendar
in
the
distance
said
:
September
2
.
The
lights
of
the
city
had
grown
beneath
it
,
spreading
and
glittering
.
She
thought
of
Rearden
.
She
wished
he
were
in
the
city
;
she
wished
she
would
see
him
tonight
.
Then
,
noticing
the
date
,
she
remembered
suddenly
that
she
had
to
rush
home
to
dress
,
because
she
had
to
attend
Jim
’
s
wedding
tonight
.
She
had
not
seen
Jim
,
outside
the
office
,
for
over
a
year
.
She
had
not
met
his
fiancee
,
but
she
had
read
enough
about
the
engagement
in
the
newspapers
.
She
rose
from
her
desk
in
wearily
distasteful
resignation
:
it
seemed
easier
to
attend
the
wedding
than
to
bother
explaining
her
absence
afterwards
.
