'Don't talk to me about ghosts！'Monsieur Armand said．'We have 1，500 people working for us in this Opera House，and everybody is talking about the ghost． They're all mad! I don't want to hear about the ghost， OK？'
Monsieur Firmin looked at a letter on the table next to him．And what are we going to do about this letter，Armand？'
'Do？' cried Monsieur Armand．'Why， do nothing， of course！ What can we do？'The two men read the letter again．It wasn't very long．
To the new directors
Because you are new in the Opera House，I am writing to tell you some important things．Never sell tickets for Box 5；that is my box for every opera night． Madame Giry， the door keeper， knows all about it． Also，I need money for my work in the Opera House．I am not expensive，and I am happy to take only20，000 francs a month． That is all． But please remem ber， I can be a good friend， but a bad enemy．
