All of the unnerved diners in his vicinity are doing their best to ignore him--don't want to be rude, surely if he's here he must be ''somebody's'' friend--when he dramatically announces to the outgoing managers (paraphrased): "You know, I don't think Joseph Buquet's death was natural." The narrator himself denies that this figure could have been the Opera ghost, because ''nobody'' is that audacious.
