Book excerpt: Raoul dressed in frantic haste, prepared to forget his distress by flinging himself, as peoplesay, into "the vortex of pleasure." Alas, he was a very sorry guest and, leaving his brother early,found himself, by ten o'clock in the evening, in a cab, behind the Longchamp race-course.It was bitterly cold. The road seemed deserted and very bright under the moonlight. He toldthe driver to wait for him patiently at the corner of a near turning and, hiding himself as well ashe could, stood stamping his feet to keep warm. He had been indulging in this healthy exercisefor half an hour or so, when a carriage turned the corner of the road and came quietly in hisdirection, at a walking pace.As it approached, he saw that a woman was leaning her head from the window. And,suddenly, the moon shed a pale gleam over her features."Christine!"The sacred name of his love had sprung from his heart and his lips. He could not keep itback... He would have given anything to withdraw it, for that name, proclaimed in the stillnessof the night, had acted as though it were the preconcerted signal for a furious rush on the part ofthe whole turn-out, which dashed past him before he could put into execution his plan of leapingat the horses' heads. The carriage window had been closed and the girl's face had disappeared.And the brougham, behind which he was now running, was no more than a black spot on thewhite road.He called out again: "Christine!"No reply. And he stopped in the midst of the silence.With a lack-luster eye, he stared down that cold, desolate road and into the pale, dead night.Nothing was colder than his heart, nothing half so dead: he had loved an angel and now hedespised a woman!Raoul, how that little fairy of the North has trifled with you! Was it really, was it reallynecessary to have so fresh and young a face, a forehead so shy and always ready to cover itselfwith the pink blush of modesty in order to pass in the lonely night, in a carriage and pair,accompanied by a mysterious lover? Surely there should be some limit to hypocrisy andlying!...She had passed without answering his cry... And he was thinking of dying; and he wastwenty years old!...His valet found him in the morning sitting on his bed. He had not undressed and the servantfeared, at the sight of his face, that some disaster had occurred. Raoul snatched his letters fromthe man's hands. He had recognized Christine's paper and hand-writing. She said:DEAR:Go to the masked ball at the Opera on the night after to-morrow. At twelve o'clock, be in thelittle room behind the chimney-place of the big crush-room. Stand near the door that leads to theRotunda. Don't mention this appointment to any one on earth. Wear a white domino and becarefully masked. As you love me, do not let yourself be recognized. CHRISTINE.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Opera ghost really existed. He was not, as was long believed, a creature of the imagination of the artists, the superstition of the managers, or a product of the absurd and impressionable brains of the young ladies of the ballet, their mothers, the box-keepers, the cloak-room attendants or the concierge. Yes, he existed in flesh and blood, although he assumed the complete appearance of a real phantom; that is to say, of a spectral shade."
