“No sooner had they entered the box than they came out and called the attendant. When she enquired what the matter was, they replied: ‘Look inside the box: can you see anyone in there? Anyone at all?’ ‘No one,’ said the woman. ‘Well,’ they declared, ‘when we went in we heard a voice saying that the box was already occupied.’” (p. 46)
I chose this quote to write about because it stood out to me as a significant piece of this story in terms of a plot development. In the beginning of the book, we see the Phantom making himself known to the cast and crew members. However, this is the first interaction in which we see the Phantom interacting with opera-goers. I chose this quote because I feel that it foreshadows future events and sets the tone and predicts what the reader can expect to see later on in the book as well.
