I Am Erik

“And the Voice, the Voice I had recognized behind the mask that hadn’t been able to hide it from me, was what now knelt in front of me: a man!
“I didn’t think of the horrible situation I was in, I didn’t wonder what would happen to me, or what dark, coldly tyrannical destiny had led me to be enclosed in that drawing room like a prisoner in a cell or a slave girl in a harem. No, I said to myself, ‘This is what the Voice is: a man!’ and I began crying.
“The man, still on his knees, evidently understood the reason for my tears, because he said, ‘It’s true, Christine: I’m not an angel, spirit, or ghost. I’m Erik’ ”
