Glancing
at
the
paper
,
Rearden
wondered
whether
it
was
a
deliberate
mockery
of
decency
,
or
so
low
an
estimate
of
their
victims
’
intelligence
,
that
had
made
the
designers
of
this
paper
print
the
text
across
a
faint
drawing
of
the
Statue
of
Liberty
.
His
eyes
moved
slowly
to
Dr
.
Ferris
’
face
.
"
You
would
not
have
come
here
,
"
he
said
,
"
unless
you
had
some
extraordinary
kind
of
blackjack
to
use
on
me
.
What
is
it
?
"
"
Of
course
,
"
said
Dr
.
Ferris
.
"
I
would
expect
you
to
understand
that
.
That
is
why
no
lengthy
explanations
are
necessary
.
"
He
opened
his
briefcase
.
"
Do
you
wish
to
see
my
blackjack
?
I
have
brought
a
few
samples
.
"
In
the
manner
of
a
cardsharp
whisking
out
a
long
fan
of
cards
with
one
snap
of
the
hand
,
he
spread
before
Rearden
a
line
of
glossy
photographic
prints
.
They
were
photostats
of
hotel
and
auto
court
registers
,
bearing
in
Rearden
’
s
handwriting
the
names
of
Mr
.
and
Mrs
.
J
.
Smith
.
"
You
know
,
of
course
,
"
said
Dr
.
Ferris
softly
,
"
but
you
might
wish
to
see
whether
we
know
it
,
that
Mrs
.
J
.
Smith
is
Miss
Dagny
Taggart
.
"
He
found
nothing
to
observe
in
Rearden
’
s
face
.
Rearden
had
not
moved
to
bend
over
the
prints
,
but
sat
looking
down
at
them
with
grave
attentiveness
,
as
if
,
from
the
perspective
of
distance
,
he
were
discovering
something
about
them
which
he
had
not
known
.
"
We
have
a
great
deal
of
additional
evidence
,
"
said
Dr
.
Ferris
,
and
tossed
down
on
the
desk
a
photostat
of
the
jeweler
’
s
bill
for
the
ruby
pendant
.
"
You
wouldn
’
t
care
to
see
the
sworn
statements
of
apartment
house
doormen
and
night
clerks
—
they
contain
nothing
that
would
be
new
to
you
,
except
the
number
of
witnesses
who
know
where
you
spent
your
nights
in
New
York
,
for
about
the
last
two
years
.
You
mustn
’
t
blame
those
people
too
much
.
It
’
s
an
interesting
characteristic
of
epochs
such
as
ours
that
people
begin
to
be
afraid
of
saying
the
things
they
want
to
say
—
and
afraid
,
when
questioned
,
to
remain
silent
about
things
they
’
d
prefer
never
to
utter
.
That
is
to
be
expected
.
But
you
would
be
astonished
if
you
knew
who
gave
us
the
original
tip
.
"
"
I
know
it
,
"
said
Rearden
;
his
voice
conveyed
no
reaction
.
The
trip
to
Florida
was
not
inexplicable
to
him
any
longer
.
"
There
is
nothing
in
this
blackjack
of
mine
that
can
harm
you
personally
,
"
said
Dr
.
Ferris
,
"
We
knew
that
no
form
of
personal
injury
would
ever
make
you
give
in
.
Therefore
,
I
am
telling
you
frankly
that
this
will
not
hurt
you
at
all
.
