(Hank Rearden) "Phillip," he said smiling, "call Miss Ives at my office tomorrow. She'll have a check for you for ten thousand dollars."
Phillip stared at him blankly; it was neither shock nor pleasure; it was just the empty stare of eyes that looked glassy.
"Oh," said Phillip, then added, "We'll appreciate it very much." There was no emotion in his voice... "By the way Henry, do you mind if I ask you to have Miss Ives give me the money in cash? You see, Friends of Global Progress are a very progressive group and they have always maintained that you represent the blackest element of social retrogression in the country and it would embarrass us, you know, to have your name on our list of contributors..."
He wanted to slap Phillip's face..He heard Larkin's voice crying after him, "Damn it, Hank! You shouldn't have given it to him.!"
(what you get when you deal with moonbats, Hank..)
