He said, 'What do you want? I answered, 'Some one has run away with Christine Daae. What do you think he said? 'And a good job, too! And he shut the door, after putting this in my hand." Mercier opened his hand; Remy and Gabriel looked. "The safety-pin!" cried Remy. "Strange! Strange!" muttered Gabriel, who could not help shivering. Suddenly a voice made them all three turn round.
