Rearden
went
inside
her
car
,
but
she
remained
on
the
steps
of
the
vestibule
,
delaying
the
finality
of
turning
away
.
She
heard
the
"
All
aboard
!
"
She
looked
at
the
people
who
remained
on
the
platform
as
one
looks
at
those
who
watch
the
departure
of
the
last
lifeboat
.
The
conductor
stood
below
,
at
the
foot
of
the
steps
,
with
his
lantern
in
one
hand
and
his
watch
in
the
other
.
He
glanced
at
the
watch
,
then
glanced
up
at
her
face
.
She
answered
by
the
silent
affirmation
of
closing
her
eyes
and
inclining
her
head
.
She
saw
his
lantern
circling
through
the
air
,
as
she
turned
away
—
and
the
first
jolt
of
the
wheels
,
on
the
rails
of
Rearden
Metal
,
was
made
easier
for
her
by
the
sight
of
Rearden
,
as
she
pulled
the
door
open
and
went
into
her
car
.
When
James
Taggart
telephoned
Lillian
Rearden
from
New
York
and
said
,
"
Why
,
no
—
no
special
reason
,
just
wondered
how
you
were
and
whether
you
ever
came
to
the
city
—
haven
’
t
seen
you
for
ages
and
just
thought
we
might
have
lunch
together
next
time
you
’
re
in
New
York
"
—
she
knew
that
he
had
some
very
special
reason
in
mind
.
When
she
answered
lazily
,
"
Oh
,
let
me
see
—
what
day
is
this
?
April
second
?
—
let
me
look
at
my
calendar
—
why
,
it
just
so
happens
that
I
have
some
shopping
to
do
in
New
York
tomorrow
,
so
I
’
ll
be
delighted
to
let
you
save
me
my
lunch
money
"
—
he
knew
that
she
had
no
shopping
to
do
and
that
the
luncheon
would
be
the
only
purpose
of
her
trip
to
the
city
.
They
met
in
a
distinguished
,
high
-
priced
restaurant
,
much
too
distinguished
and
high
-
priced
ever
to
be
mentioned
in
the
gossip
columns
;
not
the
kind
of
place
which
James
Taggart
,
always
eager
for
personal
publicity
,
was
in
the
habit
of
patronizing
;
he
did
not
want
them
to
be
seen
together
,
she
concluded
.
The
half
-
hint
of
half
-
secret
amusement
remained
on
her
face
while
she
listened
to
him
talking
about
their
friends
,
the
theater
and
the
weather
,
carefully
building
for
himself
the
protection
of
the
unimportant
.
She
sat
gracefully
not
quite
straight
,
as
if
she
were
leaning
back
,
enjoying
the
futility
of
his
performance
and
the
fact
that
he
had
to
stage
it
for
her
benefit
.
She
waited
with
patient
curiosity
to
discover
his
purpose
.
"
I
do
think
that
you
deserve
a
pat
on
the
back
or
a
medal
or
something
,
Jim
,
"
she
said
,
"
for
being
remarkably
cheerful
in
spite
of
all
the
messy
trouble
you
’
re
having
.
Didn
’
t
you
just
close
the
best
branch
of
your
railroad
?
"
"
Oh
,
it
’
s
only
a
slight
financial
setback
,
nothing
more
.
One
has
to
expect
retrenchments
at
a
time
like
this
.
Considering
the
general
state
of
the
country
,
we
’
re
doing
quite
well
.
Better
than
the
rest
of
them
.
"
He
added
,
shrugging
,
"
Besides
,
it
’
s
a
matter
of
opinion
whether
the
Rio
Norte
Line
was
our
best
branch
.
It
is
only
my
sister
who
thought
so
.
It
was
her
pet
project
.
"
