| [00:02.24] | CHAPTER 9 THE HOUSE ON THE LAKE |
| [00:08.15] | When the lights came on, Raoul ran． |
| [00:12.23] | He ran down stairs and along passages, |
| [00:15.64] | through the Opera House to the back of the stage． |
| [00:19.67] | In the passage outside Christine's dressing room, |
| [00:23.13] | a hand took his arm． |
| [00:26.81] | 'What's the matter,my young friend? |
| [00:29.81] | Where are you run ning to,so quickly?' |
| [00:33.78] | Raoul turned and saw the long face of the Persian under his black hat． |
| [00:41.21] | 'Christine!'Raoul said quickly． |
| [00:44.62] | 'Erik's got her．Where is she? |
| [00:47.77] | Help me! How do I get to his house on the lake?' |
| [00:52.93] | 'Come with me,'said the Persian． |
| [00:56.78] | They went quickly into Christine's dressing－room. |
| [01:01.23] | The Persian closed the door |
| [01:03.62] | and went to the big mirror on one wall． |
| [01:07.46] | 'There's only one door into this room,'Raoul began． |
| [01:12.24] | 'Wait,'the Persian said． |
| [01:15.61] | He put his hands on the big mirror, first here, then there． |
| [01:21.42] | For a minute nothing happened． |
| [01:24.16] | Then the mirror began to move and turn, |
| [01:28.58] | and a big dark hole opened in it．Raoul stared． |
| [01:35.02] | 'Quick!Come with me,but be careful,'the Persian said． |
| [01:41.62] | 'I know Erik．I understand his secrets． |
| [01:46.19] | Put your right hand up near your head, |
| [01:48.63] | like this,and keep it there all the time． |
| [01:53.16] | 'But why?'Raoul asked． |
| [01:56.56] | 'Remember Joseph Buquet, |
| [01:58.68] | and the rope around his neck? |
| [02:01.26] | Erik is a clever man with ropes in the dark．' |
| [02:07.23] | They went down, down, down,under the Opera House． |
| [02:13.34] | They went through secret doors in the floors, |
| [02:16.43] | then along pas sages and down dark stairs. |
| [02:21.52] | The Persian listened carefully all the time for strange noises． |
| [02:27.96] | 'When do we get to the lake?' Raoul whispered． |
| [02:32.84] | 'We're not going by the lake． |
| [02:35.40] | Erik watches it all the time． |
| [02:37.94] | No,we go round the lake and get into Erik's house from the back． |
| [02:43.86] | I know some secret doors．' |
| [02:47.36] | Soon they were there． |
| [02:50.46] | In the dark,the Persian felt the wall carefully with his hands． |
| [02:55.44] | 'Ah,here it is,'he whispered． |
| [03:00.36] | The wall moved under his hands and a small door opened． |
| [03:06.08] | Very quietly,they went through, |
| [03:09.59] | and then the door closed behind them． |
| [03:12.65] | They could not get out． |
| [03:16.39] | Inside the room it was very dark． |
| [03:19.65] | They waited and listened． |
| [03:22.14] | The Persian put his hands on the wall． |
| [03:25.52] | 'Oh no!'he whispered． |
| [03:28.69] | 'It was the wrong door! |
| [03:31.05] | This is Erik's torture room-the room of mirrors! |
| [03:35.01] | We are dead men,Vicomte de Chagny,dead men!' |
| [03:40.22] | At first Raoul did not understand． |
| [03:43.57] | But he soon learnt． |
| [03:46.01] | The lights came on, and they heard a man's laugh． |
| [03:50.30] | Erik knew they were there． |
| [03:53.67] | The room was all mirrors-walls,floor,ceiling． |
| [03:59.49] | There were pictures in the mirrors of trees and flowers and rivers. |
| [04:04.19] | The pictures moved and danced in front of their eyes． |
| [04:08.30] | And the room was hot． |
| [04:10.66] | It got hotter and hotter and hotter． |
| [04:16.17] | Raoul was thirsty,hot and thirsty, |
| [04:20.64] | and the rivers in the pictures danced and laughed at him． |
| [04:24.81] | He closed his eyes,but the rivers still danced． |
| [04:29.81] | Water,he needed water, |
| [04:33.83] | but the mirrors laughed at him． |
| [04:37.27] | Soon he could not move or speak, or open his eyes． |
| [04:43.72] | He was not thirsty now,just tired,so tired． |
| [04:51.24] | 'Oh Christine, I'm sorry,'he thought． |
| [04:55.42] | 'I wanted to help you, |
| [04:57.86] | and now I'm dying…' |
| [05:01.85] | Through a mirror in the wall Christine watched her lover in the torture room． |
| [05:07.80] | Behind her Erik stood,with his hands on her arms． |
| [05:13.44] | 'He's dying,Christine,dying． |
| [05:18.01] | Watch him carefully． |
| [05:20.30] | No,don't close your eyes．Watch him!' |
| [05:26.23] | Christine could not speak． |
| [05:28.72] | She wanted to scream,but no words came． |
| [05:32.99] | Then she found her voice again． |
| [05:36.66] | How can you do this,Erik! |
| [05:39.31] | Why don't you kill me?' |
| [05:42.81] | 'Because I love you,Christine． |
| [05:46.31] | Marry me,be my wife,and love me． |
| [05:51.37] | Then Raoul and the Persian can live．' |
| [05:55.74] | Slowly,Christine turned． |
| [05:59.35] | She looked into Erik's terrible, |
| [06:01.80] | ugly face,and spoke again,very quietly． |
| [06:07.47] | 'Yes,Erik．From this minute I am your wife．' |
| [06:14.76] | She put her arms around Erik's neck, |
| [06:18.10] | and kissed him-kissed him slowly and lovingly on his ugly mouth． |
| [06:25.72] | Then she took her arms away and said slowly, |
| [06:30.88] | 'Poor,unhappy Erik．' |
| [06:35.95] | Erik stared at her． |
| [06:39.09] | You kissed me! he whispered． |
| [06:43.36] | ' I didn't ask you,but you kissed me-freely! |
| [06:49.59] | Oh Christine,my angel! |
| [06:54.11] | That was my first kiss from a woman． |
| [06:57.85] | Even my mother never kissed me! |
| [07:00.99] | She gave me my first mask when I was two years old． |
| [07:06.84] | She turned her face away from me every time I came near her.' |
| [07:12.92] | Erik put his ugly face in his hands and cried． |
| [07:17.99] | Then he went down on the floor at Christine's feet． |
| [07:22.41] | 'You are free,Christine,free! |
| [07:25.99] | Go away and marry your Raoul,and be happy． |
| [07:30.41] | But remember Erik,sometimes． |
| [07:34.06] | Go now,quickly!Take Raoul and the Persian,and go!' |
