The
silverware
,
which
bore
the
initials
LR
in
Empire
wreaths
of
laurels
,
had
cost
$
3
,
000
.
But
it
was
held
to
be
unspiritual
to
think
of
money
and
of
what
that
money
represented
.
A
peasant
’
s
wooden
shoe
,
gilded
,
stood
in
the
center
of
the
table
,
filled
with
marigolds
,
grapes
and
carrots
.
The
candles
were
stuck
into
pumpkins
that
were
cut
as
open
-
mouthed
faces
drooling
raisins
,
nuts
and
candy
upon
the
tablecloth
.
It
was
Thanksgiving
dinner
,
and
the
three
who
faced
Rearden
about
the
table
were
his
wife
,
his
mother
and
his
brother
.
"
This
is
the
night
to
thank
the
Lord
for
our
blessings
,
"
said
Rearden
’
s
mother
.
"
God
has
been
kind
to
us
.
There
are
people
all
over
the
country
who
haven
’
t
got
any
food
in
the
house
tonight
,
and
some
that
haven
’
t
even
got
a
house
,
and
more
of
them
going
jobless
every
day
.
Gives
me
the
creeps
to
look
around
in
the
city
.
Why
,
only
last
week
,
who
do
you
suppose
I
ran
into
but
Lucie
Judson
—
Henry
,
do
you
remember
Lucie
Judson
?
Used
to
live
next
door
to
us
up
in
Minnesota
,
when
you
were
ten
-
twelve
years
old
.
Had
a
boy
about
your
age
.
I
lost
track
of
Lucie
when
they
moved
to
New
York
,
must
have
been
all
of
twenty
years
ago
.
Well
,
it
gave
me
the
creeps
to
see
what
she
’
s
come
to
—
just
a
toothless
old
hag
,
wrapped
in
a
man
’
s
overcoat
,
panhandling
on
a
street
corner
.
And
I
thought
:
That
could
’
ve
been
me
,
but
for
the
grace
of
God
.
"
"
Well
,
if
thanks
are
in
order
,
"
said
Lillian
gaily
,
"
I
think
that
we
shouldn
’
t
forget
Gertrude
,
the
new
cook
.
She
’
s
an
artist
.
"
"
Me
,
I
’
m
just
going
to
be
old
-
fashioned
,
"
said
Philip
.
"
I
’
m
just
going
to
thank
the
sweetest
mother
in
the
world
.
"
"
Well
,
for
the
matter
of
that
,
"
said
Rearden
’
s
mother
,
"
we
ought
to
thank
Lillian
for
this
dinner
and
for
all
the
trouble
she
took
to
make
it
so
pretty
.
She
spent
hours
fixing
the
table
.
It
’
s
real
quaint
and
different
.
"
"
It
’
s
the
wooden
shoe
that
does
it
,
"
said
Philip
,
bending
his
head
sidewise
to
study
it
in
a
manner
of
critical
appreciation
.
"
That
’
s
the
real
touch
.
Anybody
can
have
candles
,
silverware
and
junk
,
that
doesn
’
t
take
anything
but
money
—
but
this
shoe
,
that
took
thought
.
"
