Since
the
deadline
for
the
signing
of
the
national
Gift
Certificates
expires
tonight
at
midnight
,
"
said
Dr
.
Ferris
,
in
the
tone
of
a
salesman
extending
a
special
courtesy
to
a
customer
,
"
I
have
come
to
obtain
your
signature
,
Mr
.
Rearden
.
"
He
paused
,
with
an
air
of
suggesting
that
the
formula
now
called
for
an
answer
.
"
Go
on
,
"
said
Rearden
.
"
I
am
listening
.
"
"
Yes
,
I
suppose
I
should
explain
,
"
said
Dr
.
Ferris
,
"
that
we
wish
to
get
your
signature
early
in
the
day
in
order
to
announce
the
fact
on
a
national
news
broadcast
.
Although
the
gift
program
has
gone
through
quite
smoothly
,
there
are
still
a
few
stubborn
individualists
left
,
who
have
failed
to
sign
—
small
fry
,
really
,
whose
patents
are
of
no
crucial
value
,
but
we
cannot
let
them
remain
unbound
,
as
a
matter
of
principle
,
you
understand
.
They
are
,
we
believe
,
waiting
to
follow
your
lead
.
You
have
a
great
popular
following
,
Mr
.
Rearden
,
much
greater
than
you
suspected
or
knew
how
to
use
.
Therefore
,
the
announcement
that
you
have
signed
will
remove
the
last
hopes
of
resistance
and
,
by
midnight
,
will
bring
in
the
last
signatures
,
thus
completing
the
program
on
schedule
.
"
Rearden
knew
that
of
all
possible
speeches
,
this
was
the
last
Dr
.
Ferris
would
make
if
any
doubt
of
his
surrender
remained
in
the
man
’
s
mind
.
"
Go
on
,
"
said
Rearden
evenly
.
"
You
haven
’
t
finished
.
"
"
You
know
—
as
you
have
demonstrated
at
your
trial
—
how
important
it
is
,
and
why
,
that
we
obtain
all
that
property
with
the
voluntary
consent
of
the
victims
.
"
Dr
.
Ferris
opened
his
briefcase
.
"
Here
is
the
Gift
Certificate
,
Mr
.
Rearden
.
We
have
filled
it
out
and
all
you
have
to
do
is
to
sign
your
name
at
the
bottom
.
"
The
piece
of
paper
,
which
he
placed
in
front
of
Rearden
,
looked
like
a
small
college
diploma
,
with
the
text
printed
in
old
-
fashioned
script
and
the
particulars
inserted
by
typewriter
.
The
thing
stated
that
he
,
Henry
Rearden
,
hereby
transferred
to
the
nation
all
rights
to
the
metal
alloy
now
known
as
"
Rearden
Metal
,
"
which
would
henceforth
be
manufactured
by
all
who
so
desired
,
and
which
would
bear
the
name
of
"
Miracle
Metal
,
"
chosen
by
the
representatives
of
the
people
.
