Richard also invites his concierge, her husband, and her brother to the performance, having persuaded his concierge to take Mme. Richard finds Lachenel’s story about the ghost running away with the horse absurd, but nonetheless settles Lachenel down with some patience. They try to figure out who could have done it, and Lachenel thinks it is the ghost. Lachenel asks them to get rid of the stablemen, as one of the horses, Cesar, has been stolen. Just then, Mercier, the acting-manager, enters and says that Lachenel, the stud-groom (the chief manager of the Opera House’s horse stable), wishes to see one of the managers. If they refuse, there will be a curse upon Faust in the Opera House that night. Giry be kept as the box-keeper, and that, if they accept to the above conditions, they should deliver their letter via Mme. He demands that his private box be returned to him, that Christine sings the part of Margarita (a character in Faust), that Mme. On that Saturday morning, the managers find a letter from the Opera Ghost, in which he declares that he takes the two to be at war with him. They decide to watch the coming Saturday’s Faust performance from Box Five. They find nothing, and think that someone is making a fool of them.
Both are ostensibly very amused and laugh at each other they move the furniture of the box, life the cloths and the chairs, and examine the arm-chair in which the ghost's voice used to sit. The figure disappears, and when they leave they feel as if they were victims of an illusion. Neither man says anything, but they spontaneously seize each other’s hand. They enter the box and see a shape in it. They make their way to that box, and are rather distressed.
