== The Vanishing of Hank Rearden ==

On the morning of November 5, Dagny awoke at ten o'clock in the morning to an incessant ringing. She found Jim Taggart outside, leaning against the doorbell button. He told her, breathlessly, that Henry Rearden had quit his mills and vanished—and that "a whole bunch" of his employees had vanished after him when his disappearance became known. Jim begged Dagny to somehow bring Henry back, but Dagny said that she could not bring him back, and wouldn't if she could.

Not long after Rearden's disappearance, Dagny received a cryptic note from him. It read only, "I have met him. I don't blame you." Dagny realized at once that Henry Rearden could only have been talking about [[John Galt]]. She little realized that the entire country would soon "meet" John Galt, if only at a distance.
