The Canterville Ghost

The second appearance of the ghost was on Sunday night. Shortly after the family had gone to bed
they heard a fearful crash in the hall. A suit of armour had fallen on the floor and in a chair sat the
Canterville ghost and rubbed his knees, which seemed to hurt. When the twins started shooting
peas at him with their pea-shooters, the ghost stood up with an angry growl and passed through
them like a mist. He also blew out the candle, leaving them all in total darkness. On top of the stairs
the ghost turned around and, in order to frighten the Otis boys, laughed his most horrible laugh.
Just then, a door opened and Mrs Otis came out of her bedroom. “I am afraid you are not well,” she
said, “I have therefore brought you this bottle of medicine.” The ghost looked at her furiously, and
then he disappeared.

When he reached his room, he was completely exhausted. This American family was extremely
annoying. But what annoyed him most was, that he had not been able to wear the suit of armour.
The weight of it had made him fall and hurt his knees.
