It is well known going back before 20 years before Jennifer Burns. Chase the rabbit down the hole and you are in Wonderland. I stay above ground.

Thanks.

I was really hoping this scene wasn't in the journals due to their poor editing.

Here's some info:

From that Forbes article: "And here is where Aglialoro plans his surprise, a scene that does not exist in the book ..."

LetsShrug has read the volume on Rand's notes. I think she'll know the answer. I have not read anything Rand wrote about that scene, I've only heard ir described.

I don't know. I'm hoping someone here who has read beyond her public works for fiction can point me in the right direction.

I did find this lady's blog, which is insightful, but I don't expect to find this material in her book.

Is the scene in her published notes?

No biggie. I just like to see original material whenever possible.

Oh. Sorry.

I got that from the article. Where can I read the original scene that was cut?

It was cut from the manuscript prior to publishing.
