Lot 666, then. A chandelier in pieces.
Some of you may recall the strange affair
of the Phantom of the Opera
A mystery never fully explained
We're told, ladies and gentlemen,
that this is the very chandelier which figures in the famous disaster.
Our workshops have repaired it and wired
parts of it for the new electric light
Prehaps we can frighten away the ghost of so many years ago
with a little illumination.
Gentlemen?
