Yes, he would like to see if, with that woman instead of the old lunatic, Box Five would continue to astonish the natives? "By the way," said Moncharmin, "you know that Mother Giry is going to lodge a complaint against you." "With whom? The ghost?" The ghost! Moncharmin had almost forgotten him.
Giry, if Moncharmin had not stayed his avenging hand and hastened to ask her, more gently: "How can you suspect my partner, M. Richard, of putting twenty-thousand francs in his pocket?" "I never said that," declared Mme. Giry, "seeing that it was myself who put the twenty-thousand francs into M. Richard's pocket." And she added, under her voice, "There! It's out! ... And may the ghost forgive me!"
He seemed ready to burst. He said nothing, he could not speak. But suddenly he acted. First, his left arm seized upon the quaint person of Mme. Giry and made her describe so unexpected a semicircle that she uttered a despairing cry. Next, his right foot imprinted its sole on the black taffeta of a skirt which certainly had never before undergone a similar outrage in a similar place.
M. Richard behaved like a hero. He retreated no farther. His threatening forefinger seemed already to be pointing out the keeper of Box Five to the absent magistrates. "I am going to have you arrested, Mme. Giry, as a thief!" "Say that again!" And Mme. Giry caught Mr. Manager Richard a mighty box on the ear, before Mr. Manager Moncharmin had time to intervene.
"But don't be afraid ... next time, I shall have taken my precautions." The next time fell on the same day that beheld the disappearance of Christine Daae. In the morning, a note from the ghost reminded them that the money was due. It read: Do just as you did last time. It went very well. Put the twenty thousand in the envelope and hand it to our excellent Mme. Giry.
Giry, drawing herself up, recited the letter with touching eloquence: MADAM: 1825. Mlle. Menetrier, leader of the ballet, became Marquise de Cussy. Mlle. Marie Taglioni, a dancer, became Comtesse Gilbert des Voisins. La Sota, a dancer, married a brother of the King of Spain. Lola Montes, a dancer, became the morganatic wife of King Louis of Bavaria and was created Countess of Landsfeld. Mlle.
GILLETTE: Constructive Rural Sociology, pages 32-46. STRONG: Our World, pages 228-283. NEARING AND WATSON: Economics, pages 123-132. GIRY AND REVILLE: Emancipation of the Mediæval Towns. BLISS: New Encyclopedia of Social Reform, art. "Cities." 186. =Preponderance of Economic Interests.= Such a social centre as the city has several functions to perform for its inhabitants.
This time, Richard burst out laughing, as did Moncharmin and Remy, the secretary. Only the inspector, warned by experience, was careful not to laugh, while Mme. Giry ventured to adopt an attitude that was positively threatening. "Instead of laughing," she cried indignantly, "you'd do better to do as M. Poligny did, who found out for himself."
"And why is it your mother's opinion?" "Hush! Mother says the ghost doesn't like being talked about." "And why does your mother say so?" "Because because nothing " This reticence exasperated the curiosity of the young ladies, who crowded round little Giry, begging her to explain herself.
Giry, burst into song again "'Saint, unclose thy portals holy and accord the bliss, to a mortal bending lowly, of a pardon-kiss. And then M. Maniera again hears the voice in his right ear, saying, this time, 'Ha, ha! Julie wouldn't mind according a kiss to Isidore! Then he turns round again, but, this time, to the left; and what do you think he sees?
