Well
,
suit
yourself
;
we
wouldn
’
t
want
to
force
the
Alliance
.
We
much
prefer
to
have
things
happen
voluntarily
.
But
these
are
difficult
times
and
it
’
s
hard
telling
what
’
s
liable
to
happen
.
With
everybody
going
broke
and
the
tax
receipts
falling
,
we
might
—
fact
being
that
we
hold
well
over
fifty
per
cent
of
the
Taggart
bonds
—
we
might
be
compelled
to
call
for
the
payment
of
railroad
bonds
within
six
months
.
"
"
What
?
!
"
screamed
Taggart
.
"
—
or
sooner
.
"
"
But
you
can
’
t
!
Oh
God
,
you
can
’
t
!
It
was
understood
that
the
moratorium
was
for
five
years
!
It
was
a
contract
,
an
obligation
!
We
were
counting
on
it
!
"
"
An
obligation
?
Aren
’
t
you
old
-
fashioned
,
Jim
?
There
aren
’
t
any
obligations
,
except
the
necessity
of
the
moment
.
The
original
owners
of
those
bonds
were
counting
on
their
payments
,
too
.
"
Dagny
burst
out
laughing
.
She
could
not
stop
herself
,
she
could
not
resist
it
,
she
could
not
reject
a
moment
’
s
chance
to
avenge
Ellis
Wyatt
,
Andrew
Stockton
,
Lawrence
Hammond
,
all
the
others
.
She
said
,
torn
by
laughter
:
"
Thanks
,
Mr
.
Weatherby
!
"
Mr
.
Weatherby
looked
at
her
in
astonishment
.
"
Yes
?
"
he
asked
coldly
.
"
I
knew
that
we
would
have
to
pay
for
those
bonds
one
way
or
another
.
We
’
re
paying
.
"
"
Miss
Taggart
,
"
said
the
chairman
severely
,
"
don
’
t
you
think
that
I
told
-
you
-
so
’
s
are
futile
?
To
talk
of
what
would
have
happened
if
we
had
acted
differently
is
nothing
but
purely
theoretical
speculation
.
We
cannot
indulge
in
theory
,
we
have
to
deal
with
the
practical
reality
of
the
moment
.
