"
The
man
who
gave
me
the
cigarette
said
that
in
such
a
case
one
must
check
one
’
s
premises
.
"
"
He
did
?
About
the
cigarette
?
"
"
Well
,
no
,
not
exactly
.
But
why
?
What
is
it
you
have
to
tell
me
?
"
"
Miss
Taggart
,
I
have
inquired
all
over
the
world
.
I
have
checked
every
source
of
information
in
and
about
the
tobacco
industry
.
I
have
had
that
cigarette
stub
put
through
a
chemical
analysis
.
There
is
no
plant
that
manufactures
that
kind
of
paper
.
The
flavoring
elements
in
that
tobacco
have
never
been
used
in
any
smoking
mixture
I
could
find
.
That
cigarette
was
machine
-
made
,
but
it
was
not
made
in
any
factory
I
know
—
and
I
know
them
all
.
Miss
Taggart
,
to
the
best
of
my
knowledge
,
that
cigarette
was
not
made
anywhere
on
earth
.
"
Rearden
stood
by
,
watching
absently
,
while
the
waiter
wheeled
the
dinner
table
out
of
his
hotel
room
.
Ken
Danagger
had
left
.
The
room
was
half
-
dark
;
by
an
unspoken
agreement
,
they
had
kept
the
lights
low
during
their
dinner
,
so
that
Danagger
’
s
face
would
not
be
noticed
and
,
perhaps
,
recognized
by
the
waiters
.
They
had
had
to
meet
furtively
,
like
criminals
who
could
not
be
seen
together
.
They
could
not
meet
in
their
offices
or
in
their
homes
,
only
in
the
crowded
anonymity
of
a
city
,
in
his
suite
at
the
Wayne
Falkland
Hotel
.
There
could
be
a
fine
of
$
10
,
000
and
ten
years
of
imprisonment
for
each
of
them
,
if
it
became
known
that
he
had
agreed
to
deliver
to
Danagger
four
thousand
tons
of
structural
shapes
of
Rearden
Metal
.
They
had
not
discussed
that
law
,
at
their
dinner
together
,
or
their
motives
or
the
risk
they
were
taking
.
They
had
merely
talked
business
.
Speaking
clearly
and
dryly
,
as
he
always
spoke
at
any
conference
,
Danagger
had
explained
that
half
of
his
original
order
would
be
sufficient
to
brace
such
tunnels
as
would
cave
in
,
if
he
delayed
the
bracing
much
longer
,
and
to
recondition
the
mines
of
the
Confederated
Coal
Company
,
gone
bankrupt
,
which
he
had
purchased
three
weeks
ago
—
"
It
’
s
an
excellent
property
,
but
in
rotten
condition
;
they
had
a
nasty
accident
there
last
month
,
cave
-
in
and
gas
explosion
,
forty
men
killed
.
