Then she heard him her angel. He was angry that Raoul only recognized Christine after he sang. She pleaded to him to finally show himself. He told her to look in the mirror. Christine walked to the mirror and in the darkness she could see him there, a man in the mask. He reached out his hand calling her with the sweet sound of his voice. She grasped his hand and he pulled her through the mirror, they began walking down the passage lit by candle light. Christine hear the angel singing and she sang along, this song filled the dark cave with joy! Christine felt like she was in a trance and this man, what she could see of his face was gorgeous. His voice made her feel as if she was floating on air, it was a sound that she longed for far after it was gone. The man helped her into a boat and began to row her across a lake, covered with swirling mist. She was almost entranced when she began to remember what the rumor were about this strange man she looked at him. He looked at her gently, she could feel her soul melting. The man, the mask, the boat, it was all to much. When they arrived at his house, he lifted her from the boat singing sweet tunes in her ear. This was all too much for her, she began to grow drowsy and fainted.
The man carried her to his bed and lied her down gently. He stood there for a minute and gazed at her.
"Christine if you only knew how much I love you" he whispered.
A few hours later Christine awoke, she looked around and began to remember what had happened before she fainted. She remembered a man in a mask and she began searching for him.
