"But when I call for the Phantom of the Opera on Thursday, at the appointed hour, he is not there. What vexation! Am I not slightly relieved? Can it be that he doesn’t like me? I sit down on the kerb, outside the Opera. People passing look at me. I will wait here for a hundred years. Or until the hot meat of romance is cooled by the dull gravy of common sense once more."
