Changes

[[John Galt]], as promised, opened a special edition of his lecture course, that all the most productive men in Galt's Gulch knew and loved. Those lectures, held every other evening in the hangar of Dwight Sanders' airfield, were among the highlights of Rearden's stay. Rearden never asked himself whom he liked better: the teacher or his fellow students.

On November 15, Galt accelerated the course to an every-evening schedule with longer hours, and that he would "graduate" everyone on November 21. He gave no explanation for the rushed schedule.

On November 15, Galt accelerated the course to an every-evening schedule with longer hours, and that he would "graduate" everyone on November 21. He gave no explanation for the rushed schedule, but Rearden guessed: Galt had been preoccupied ever since Ragnar had brought the intelligence about [[Mr. Thompson]]'s planned speech.

On November 22, Galt made a three-hour speech, on voice only, explaining the strike and the philosophy behind it. The next day, Galt left the valley for New York City. Francisco d'Anconia and Ragnar Danneskjold tried to talk him out of it, but to no avail. Rearden knew better than to try. He knew why Galt was going back to the outer world: Dagny.

Came November 22, and Mr. Thompson did not make any speech. John Galt did. For three hours, on voice only, Galt explained the strike and the philosophy behind it.

Months passed with no news, except for the fire at Rearden Steel on January 22. Then, in the middle of February, John Galt was arrested. Somehow Dagny had been involved. Henry was probably not inclined to believe that Dagny would deliberately betray John Galt to the authorities. Surely she was acting at Galt's own suggestion, so that she would not come to harm. (Henry would probably hear the truth of the matter from Galt himself later on.)
