This
is
hardly
the
moment
for
any
"
"
I
think
you
should
present
me
to
your
bride
,
James
.
Your
manners
have
never
been
glued
to
you
too
solidly
you
always
lose
them
in
an
emergency
,
and
that
s
the
time
when
one
needs
them
most
.
"
Turning
to
escort
him
toward
Cherryl
,
Taggart
caught
the
faint
sound
that
came
from
Bertram
Scudder
;
it
was
an
unborn
chuckle
.

Taggart
knew
that
the
men
who
had
crawled
at
his
feet
a
moment
ago
,
whose
hatred
for
Francisco
d
Anconia
was
,
perhaps
,
greater
than
his
own
,
were
enjoying
the
spectacle
none
the
less
.
The
implications
of
this
knowledge
were
among
the
things
he
did
not
care
to
name
.
Francisco
bowed
to
Cherryl
and
offered
his
best
wishes
,
as
if
she
were
the
bride
of
a
royal
heir
.
Watching
nervously
,
Taggart
felt
relief
and
a
touch
of
nameless
resentment
,
which
,
if
named
,
would
have
told
him
he
wished
the
occasion
deserved
the
grandeur
that
Francisco
s
manner
gave
it
for
a
moment
.
He
was
afraid
to
remain
by
Francisco
s
side
and
afraid
to
let
him
loose
among
the
guests
,
He
backed
a
few
tentative
steps
away
,
but
Francisco
followed
him
,
smiling
.
"
You
didn
t
think
I
d
want
to
miss
your
wedding
,
James
when
you
re
my
childhood
friend
and
best
stockholder
?

"
What
?
"
gasped
Taggart
,
and
regretted
it
:
the
sound
was
a
confession
of
panic
.
Francisco
did
not
seem
to
take
note
of
it
;
he
said
,
his
voice
gaily
innocent
,
"
Oh
,
but
of
course
I
know
it
.
I
know
the
stooge
behind
the
stooge
behind
every
name
on
the
list
of
the
stockholders
of
d
Anconia
Copper
.
It
s
surprising
how
many
men
by
the
name
of
Smith
and
Gomez
are
rich
enough
to
own
big
chunks
of
the
richest
corporation
in
the
world
so
you
can
t
blame
me
if
I
was
curious
to
learn
what
distinguished
persons
I
actually
have
among
my
minority
stockholders
.
I
seem
to
be
popular
with
an
astonishing
collection
of
public
figures
from
all
over
the
world
from
People
s
States
where
you
wouldn
t
think
there
s
any
money
left
at
all
.
