Yes
,
of
course
I
knew
it
,
"
said
Taggart
hastily
.
"
It
was
just
.
.
.
You
just
happened
to
choose
the
one
week
when
we
had
a
little
trouble
with
our
motive
power
—
our
new
engines
are
on
order
,
but
there
’
s
been
a
slight
delay
—
you
know
what
a
problem
we
’
re
having
with
the
manufacturers
of
locomotives
—
but
it
’
s
only
temporary
.
"
"
Of
course
,
"
said
Boyle
.
"
Delays
can
’
t
be
helped
.
It
’
s
the
strangest
train
I
ever
rode
on
,
though
.
Nearly
shook
my
guts
out
.
"
Within
a
few
minutes
,
they
noticed
that
Taggart
had
become
silent
.
He
seemed
preoccupied
with
a
problem
of
his
own
.
When
he
rose
abruptly
,
without
apology
,
they
rose
,
too
,
accepting
it
as
a
command
.
Larkin
muttered
,
smiling
too
strenuously
,
"
It
was
a
pleasure
,
Jim
.
A
pleasure
.
That
’
s
how
great
projects
are
born
—
over
a
drink
with
friends
.
"
"
Social
reforms
are
slow
,
"
said
Taggart
coldly
.
"
It
is
advisable
to
be
patient
and
cautious
.
"
For
the
first
time
,
he
turned
to
Wesley
Mouch
.
"
What
I
like
about
you
,
Mouch
,
is
that
you
don
’
t
talk
too
much
.
"
Wesley
Mouch
was
Rearden
’
s
Washington
man
.
There
was
still
a
remnant
of
sunset
light
in
the
sky
,
when
Taggart
and
Boyle
emerged
together
into
the
street
below
.
The
transition
was
faintly
shocking
to
them
—
the
enclosed
barroom
led
one
to
expect
midnight
darkness
.
A
tall
building
stood
outlined
against
the
sky
,
sharp
and
straight
like
a
raised
sword
.
In
the
distance
beyond
it
,
there
hung
the
calendar
.
Taggart
fumbled
irritably
with
his
coat
collar
,
buttoning
it
against
the
chill
of
the
streets
.
He
had
not
intended
to
go
back
to
the
office
tonight
,
but
he
had
to
go
back
.
He
had
to
see
his
sister
.
"
.
.
.
a
difficult
undertaking
ahead
of
us
,
Jim
,
"
Boyle
was
saying
,
"
a
difficult
undertaking
,
with
so
many
dangers
and
complications
and
so
much
at
stake
.
.
.
