But
everybody
knew
how
perfect
an
instrument
her
voice
was
;
and
there
was
no
display
of
anger
,
but
only
of
horror
and
dismay
,
the
sort
of
dismay
which
men
would
have
felt
if
they
had
witnessed
the
catastrophe
that
broke
the
arms
of
the
Venus
de
Milo
.
.
.
And
even
then
they
would
have
seen
.
.
.
and
understood
.
.
.
712
But
here
that
toad
was
incomprehensible
!
So
much
so
that
,
after
some
seconds
spent
in
asking
herself
if
she
had
really
heard
that
note
,
that
sound
,
that
infernal
noise
issue
from
her
throat
,
she
tried
to
persuade
herself
that
it
was
not
so
,
that
she
was
the
victim
of
an
illusion
,
an
illusion
of
the
ear
,
and
not
of
an
act
of
treachery
on
the
part
of
her
voice
.
.
.
.

Meanwhile
,
in
Box
Five
,
Moncharmin
and
Richard
had
turned
very
pale
.
This
extraordinary
and
inexplicable
incident
filled
them
with
a
dread
which
was
the
more
mysterious
inasmuch
as
for
some
little
while
,
they
had
fallen
within
the
direct
influence
of
the
ghost
.
They
had
felt
his
breath
.
Moncharmin
s
hair
stood
on
end
.
Richard
wiped
the
perspiration
from
his
forehead
.
Yes
,
the
ghost
was
there
,
around
them
,
behind
them
,
beside
them
;
they
felt
his
presence
without
seeing
him
,
they
heard
his
breath
,
close
,
close
,
close
to
them
!
.
.
.
They
were
sure
that
there
were
three
people
in
the
box
.
.
.
They
trembled
.
.
.
They
thought
of
running
away
.
.
.
They
dared
not
.
.
.
They
dared
not
make
a
movement
or
exchange
a
word
that
would
have
told
the
ghost
that
they
knew
that
he
was
there
!
.
.
.
What
was
going
to
happen
?

This
happened
.
715
"
Co
-
ack
!
"
Their
joint
exclamation
of
horror
was
heard
all
over
the
house
.
THEY
FELT
THAT
THEY
WERE
SMARTING
UNDER
THE
GHOST
S
ATTACKS
.
716
Leaning
over
the
ledge
of
their
box
,
they
stared
at
Carlotta
as
though
they
did
not
recognize
her
.
That
infernal
girl
must
have
given
the
signal
for
some
catastrophe
.
Ah
,
they
were
waiting
for
the
catastrophe
!
The
ghost
had
told
them
it
would
come
!
The
house
had
a
curse
upon
it
!
The
two
managers
gasped
and
panted
under
the
weight
of
the
catastrophe
.
Richard
s
stifled
voice
was
heard
calling
to
Carlotta
:
717
"
Well
,
go
on
!
"

No
,
Carlotta
did
not
go
on
.
.
.
Bravely
,
heroically
,
she
started
afresh
on
the
fatal
line
at
the
end
of
which
the
toad
had
appeared
.
719
An
awful
silence
succeeded
the
uproar
.
Carlotta
s
voice
alone
once
more
filled
the
resounding
house
:
720
"
I
feel
without
alarm
.
.
.
"
