Hi! I attempted to edit this chapter for a couple spelling errors, and instead, being the highly intelligent person I am, I accidentally deleted the whole thing. I am currently rewriting it and will replace it soon. I apologize for the confusion. Thank you for your patience!
If you are eager to keep reading in the meantime (first of all, thank you!), then the important things to know are:
1. The police find the passage behind Christine's dressing-room mirror. Christine realizes this means they will soon find Erik's lair. She heads down there to dispose of his extensive gunpowder collection, so he won't be a terrorism suspect. She fails to do so.
2. Meanwhile, Raoul has been stealing Christine's mail. He finds a letter from Erik saying to meet him in Stockholm. He decides to head there and confront him. Christine knows nothing of this.
