Left alone, the managers told each other of the idea which they both had in mind, which was that they should look into that little matter of Box Five themselves. Christine Daae, owing to intrigues to which I will return later, did not immediately continue her triumph at the Opera.
"And in the midst of the wood, looking on at the crowd of labourers, stood Waldemar Daae and his three daughters, and they all laughed together at the wild cries of the birds; but his youngest daughter, Anna Dorthea, was sorry for them in her heart; and when the men were about to cut down a partially decayed tree, amidst whose naked branches the black storks had built their nests, and from which the tiny little ones peeped out their heads, she begged it might be spared.
We now knew all that the monster meant to convey when he said to Christine Daae: "Yes or no! If your answer is no, everybody will be dead AND BURIED!" Yes, buried under the ruins of the Paris Grand Opera! The monster had given her until eleven o'clock in the evening. He had chosen his time well. There would be many people, many "members of the human race," up there, in the resplendent theater.
And the summer advanced in the village near Borreby, in Tjæreby, and all the surrounding towns. "But one night when I arose," continued the wind, "the great lady was lying ill, never to move again. That something had come over her which comes over all mankind sooner or later: it is nothing new. Waldemar Daae stood in deep and melancholy thought for a short time.
But people on the stage are not so modest as all that; and I think that I shall not be far from the truth if I ascribe her action simply to fear. Yes, I believe that Christine Daae was frightened by what had happened to her. She showed herself nowhere; and the Vicomte de Chagny tried in vain to meet her.
Handing one of the pistols to Raoul, he added, "In this duel, we shall be two to one; but you must be prepared for everything, for we shall be fighting the most terrible adversary that you can imagine. But you love Christine Daae, do you not?" "I worship the ground she stands on! But you, sir, who do not love her, tell me why I find you ready to risk your life for her!
The stones were used again, and became new walls a new building at another place, and that was Borreby Castle as it now stands. I have seen and known the high-born ladies and gentlemen, the various generations that have dwelt in it; and now I shall tell about WALDEMAR DAAE AND HIS DAUGHTERS. "He held his head so high: he was of royal extraction.
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.
It happened so quickly that the spectators hardly had time to utter a sound of stupefaction, for the gas at once lit up the stage again. But Christine Daae was no longer there! What had become of her? What was that miracle? All exchanged glances without understanding, and the excitement at once reached its height. Nor was the tension any less great on the stage itself.
When I came to myself again, Niels Daae stood beside me with an empty water bottle, the contents of which were dripping off my person and off the sofa upon which I was lying. "Here, drink this," he said in a soothing tone. "It will make you feel better." I looked about me wildly, as I sipped at the glass of brandy which put new life into me once more. "What has happened?" I asked weakly.
