"
Oh
,
yes
!
"
cried
the
chorus
of
ballet
-
girls
.
32
And
they
all
began
to
talk
together
.
The
ghost
had
appeared
to
them
in
the
shape
of
a
gentleman
in
dress
-
clothes
,
who
had
suddenly
stood
before
them
in
the
passage
,
without
their
knowing
where
he
came
from
.
He
seemed
to
have
come
straight
through
the
wall
.
33
"
Pooh
!
"
said
one
of
them
,
who
had
more
or
less
kept
her
head
.
"
You
see
the
ghost
everywhere
!

And
it
was
true
.
For
several
months
,
there
had
been
nothing
discussed
at
the
Opera
but
this
ghost
in
dress
-
clothes
who
stalked
about
the
building
,
from
top
to
bottom
,
like
a
shadow
,
who
spoke
to
nobody
,
to
whom
nobody
dared
speak
and
who
vanished
as
soon
as
he
was
seen
,
no
one
knowing
how
or
where
.
As
became
a
real
ghost
,
he
made
no
noise
in
walking
.
People
began
by
laughing
and
making
fun
of
this
specter
dressed
like
a
man
of
fashion
or
an
undertaker
;
but
the
ghost
legend
soon
swelled
to
enormous
proportions
among
the
corps
de
ballet
.
All
the
girls
pretended
to
have
met
this
supernatural
being
more
or
less
often
.
35
And
those
who
laughed
the
loudest
were
not
the
most
at
ease
.
When
he
did
not
show
himself
,
he
betrayed
his
presence
or
his
passing
by
accident
,
comic
or
serious
,
for
which
the
general
superstition
held
him
responsible
.
Had
any
one
met
with
a
fall
,
or
suffered
a
practical
joke
at
the
hands
of
one
of
the
other
girls
,
or
lost
a
powderpuff
,
it
was
at
once
the
fault
of
the
ghost
,
of
the
Opera
ghost
.
36
After
all
,
who
had
seen
him
?
You
meet
so
many
men
in
dress
-
clothes
at
the
Opera
who
are
not
ghosts
.
But
this
dress
-
suit
had
a
peculiarity
of
its
own
.
It
covered
a
skeleton
.
At
least
,
so
the
ballet
-
girls
said
.
And
,
of
course
,
it
had
a
death
s
head
.
37
Was
all
this
serious
?
The
truth
is
that
the
idea
of
the
skeleton
came
from
the
description
of
the
ghost
given
by
Joseph
Buquet
,
the
chief
scene
-
shifter
,
who
had
really
seen
the
ghost
.
He
had
run
up
against
the
ghost
on
the
little
staircase
,
by
the
footlights
,
which
leads
to
"
the
cellars
.
"
He
had
seen
him
for
a
second
for
the
ghost
had
fled
and
to
any
one
who
cared
to
listen
to
him
he
said
:

"
He
is
extraordinarily
thin
and
his
dress
-
coat
hangs
on
a
skeleton
frame
.
His
eyes
are
so
deep
that
you
can
hardly
see
the
fixed
pupils
.
You
just
see
two
big
black
holes
,
as
in
a
dead
man
s
skull
.
His
skin
,
which
is
stretched
across
his
bones
like
a
drumhead
,
is
not
white
,
but
a
nasty
yellow
.
His
nose
is
so
little
worth
talking
about
that
you
can
t
see
it
side
-
face
;
and
THE
ABSENCE
of
that
nose
is
a
horrible
thing
TO
LOOK
AT
.
All
the
hair
he
has
is
three
or
four
long
dark
locks
on
his
forehead
and
behind
his
ears
.

This
chief
scene
-
shifter
was
a
serious
,
sober
,
steady
man
,
very
slow
at
imagining
things
.
His
words
were
received
with
interest
and
amazement
;
and
soon
there
were
other
people
to
say
that
they
too
had
met
a
man
in
dress
-
clothes
with
a
death
s
head
on
his
shoulders
.
Sensible
men
who
had
wind
of
the
story
began
by
saying
that
Joseph
Buquet
had
been
the
victim
of
a
joke
played
by
one
of
his
assistants
.
And
then
,
one
after
the
other
,
there
came
a
series
of
incidents
so
curious
and
so
inexplicable
that
the
very
shrewdest
people
began
to
feel
uneasy
.
