The
cellars
of
the
Opera
are
enormous
and
they
are
five
in
number
.
Raoul
followed
the
Persian
and
wondered
what
he
would
have
done
without
his
companion
in
that
extraordinary
labyrinth
.
They
went
down
to
the
third
cellar
;
and
their
progress
was
still
lit
by
some
distant
lamp
.
The
lower
they
went
,
the
more
precautions
the
Persian
seemed
to
take
.
He
kept
on
turning
to
Raoul
to
see
if
he
was
holding
his
arm
properly
,
showing
him
how
he
himself
carried
his
hand
as
if
always
ready
to
fire
,
though
the
pistol
was
in
his
pocket
.
Suddenly
,
a
loud
voice
made
them
stop
.
Some
one
above
them
shouted
:

"
All
the
door
-
shutters
on
the
stage
!
The
commissary
of
police
wants
them
!
"
Steps
were
heard
and
shadows
glided
through
the
darkness
.
The
Persian
drew
Raoul
behind
a
set
piece
.
They
saw
passing
before
and
above
them
old
men
bent
by
age
and
the
past
burden
of
opera
-
scenery
.
Some
could
hardly
drag
themselves
along
;
others
,
from
habit
,
with
stooping
bodies
and
outstretched
hands
,
looked
for
doors
to
shut
.
They
were
the
door
-
shutters
,
the
old
,
worn
-
out
scene
-
shifters
,
on
whom
a
charitable
management
had
taken
pity
,
giving
them
the
job
of
shutting
doors
above
and
below
the
stage
.
They
went
about
incessantly
,
from
top
to
bottom
of
the
building
,
shutting
the
doors
;
and
they
were
also
called
"
The
draft
-
expellers
,
"
at
least
at
that
time
,
for
I
have
little
doubt
that
by
now
they
are
all
dead
.
Drafts
are
very
bad
for
the
voice
,
wherever
they
may
come
from
.

The
two
men
might
have
stumbled
over
them
,
waking
them
up
and
provoking
a
request
for
explanations
.
For
the
moment
,
M
.
Mifroid
’
s
inquiry
saved
them
from
any
such
unpleasant
encounters
.
The
Persian
and
Raoul
welcomed
this
incident
,
which
relieved
them
of
inconvenient
witnesses
,
for
some
of
those
door
-
shutters
,
having
nothing
else
to
do
or
nowhere
to
lay
their
heads
,
stayed
at
the
Opera
,
from
idleness
or
necessity
,
and
spent
the
night
there
.
But
they
were
not
left
to
enjoy
their
solitude
for
long
.
Other
shades
now
came
down
by
the
same
way
by
which
the
door
-
shutters
had
gone
up
.
Each
of
these
shades
carried
a
little
lantern
and
moved
it
about
,
above
,
below
and
all
around
,
as
though
looking
for
something
or
somebody
.
