When Red Death released him at last, he ran away like a very madman, pursued by the jeers of the bystanders.
It was at this moment that Raoul passed in front of the funereal masquerader, who had just happened to turn in his direction.

And he nearly exclaimed: "The death's head of Perros-Guirec!" He had recognized him! ...

He wanted to dart forward, forgetting Christine; but the black domino, who also seemed a prey to some strange excitement, caught him by the arm and dragged him from the crush-room, far from the mad crowd through which Red Death was stalking...
The black domino kept on turning back and, apparently, on two occasions saw something that startled her, for she hurried her pace and Raoul's as though they were being pursued.
They went up two floors.

Here, the stairs and corridors were almost deserted.

The black domino opened the door of a private box and beckoned to the white domino to follow her.
