 Larkin shrugged sadly. "Why ask useless questions? How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky? Who
is John Galt?"
Rearden sat up straight. "No," he said sharply. "No. There's no reason to feel that way."
He got up. His exhaustion had gone while he talked about his business. He felt a sudden spurt of
rebellion, a need to recapture and defiantly to reassert his own view of existence, that sense of it which he
had held while walking home tonight and which now seemed threatened in some nameless manner.
He paced the room, his energy returning. He looked at his family.
They were bewildered, unhappy children—he thought—all of them, even his mother, and he was foolish
to resent their ineptitude; it came from their helplessness, not from malice. It was he who had to make
himself learn to understand them, since he had so much to give, since they could never share his sense of
joyous, boundless power.
He glanced at them from across the room. His mother and Philip were engaged in some eager
discussion; but he noted that they were not really eager, they were nervous. Philip sat in a low chair, his
stomach forward, his weight on his shoulder blades, as if the miserable discomfort of his position were
intended to punish the onlookers.
"What's the matter, Phil?" Rearden asked, approaching him. "You look done in."
"I've had a hard day," said Philip sullenly.
"You're not the only one who works hard," said his mother. "Others have problems, too—even if they're
not billion-dollar, trans-super-continental problems like yours."
"Why, that's good. I always thought that Phil should find some interest of his own."
"Good? You mean you like to see your brother sweating his health away? It amuses you, doesn't it? I
always thought it did."
"Why, no, Mother. I'd like to help."
"You don't have to help. You don't have to feel anything for any of us."
Rearden had never known what his brother was doing or wished to do. He had sent Philip through
college, but Philip had not been able to decide on any specific ambition. There was something wrong, by
Rearden's standards, with a man who did not seek any gainful employment, but he would not impose his
standards on Philip; he could afford to support his brother and never notice the expense. Let him take it
easy, Rearden had thought for years, let him have a chance to choose his career without the strain of
struggling for a livelihood.
"What were you doing today, Phil?" he asked patiently.
"It wouldn't interest you."
"It does interest me. That's why I'm asking."
