He hhac come to live and workin England, but he did not want to live in London, He did not want to live in the city. He wanted tolive in the countryside outside London. Canterville Chase was a large and very old house near London. Lord Canterville, the owner, wanted to sell it. So Mr. Hiram B, Otis visited Lord Canterville “T do not live in Canterville Chase,” Lord Canterville said to Mr. Otis, “I do not want to live there. The house has a ghost - The Canterville Ghost.” “Ym from America,” said Mr. Otis. "America is a modern country. I don’t believe in ghosts. Have you seen this Canterville Ghost?” "No," said Lord Canterville, “but T have heard it at night." “don’t believe in ghosts,” Mr. Otis said again. “No one hhas found a ghost. No one has put a ghost ina museum. And you haven't seen this ghost either.” “But several members of my family have seen it,” said Lord Canterville. “My aunt savy the ghost. She was so scared that she was sick for the rest of her life, Also, the servants have seen itso they will not stay in the house at night. Only the housekeeper, Mrs. Umney, lives in Canterville Chase. Mrs. Umney lives there alone.” “want to buy the house,” said Mr. Otis. “Il buy the ghost, too, Will you sell Canterville Chase? Will you sell the ghost?” "Yes, I will" said Lord Canterville. “But, please remember, I told you about the ghost before you bought the house.” Mr. Hiram B, Otis bought Canterville Chase. Then his family came to England from America. He had a wife named Lucretia, three sons, and a daughter. ‘The oldest son, Washington, was almost twenty years old. He was good-looking and had fair hair. His two younger brothers were twins. They were twelve years old, ‘The daughter, Virginia, was fifteen years old. She had large blue eyes and a beautiful face. Mr. Otis took his family to live at Canterville Chase. The ‘old house was in the countryside west of London, Mr. Otis and his family traveled from London by train. Then they rode to the house in a wagon pulled by two horses. The Canterville Ghost Canterville Chase was big and old. ‘Trees grew all around the house. The Otis family wanted fo stop and look at the outside of the house, but the sky darkened. thunderstorm was coming. Rain started to fall, so the family went inside the house quickly. Mrs. Umney, the housekeeper, was waiting for them by the front door: She was an old woman and wore a black dress and white apron, She lived at Canterville Chase and took care ofthe house. “Welcome to Canterville Chase,” said Mrs, Umney. “Would you like some tea?” “res, please,” said Mrs, Otis The Otis family followed Mrs, Umney into the library. ‘There was a big table in the center of the room and many chairs. Mrs, Umney put teacups on the table, then she brought a pot of tea The Otises sat in the library and drank their tea. They looked out ofa large window atthe rain, The rain was falling heavily and the sky was lack. They heard thunclerand they saw lightning, Mrs. Otis looked around the room, There were many books on bookshelves, There were paintings on the walls ‘Thete was also a red stain on the floor, The red stain was by the fireplace. “What is this ted stain?” Mies, Otis asked Mrs. Umney. “tis blood,” answered the ole housekeeper in a quiet “1 don’t want a blood:stain in my library.” said Mrs Otis. “Please remove the stain, Please clean the floor immediately.” ‘The old woman smiled. “Ibis the blood of Lady Eleanore de Canterville. She was murdered by her husband, SirSimon de Canterville, in 1575, The blood-stain has been here for over thtee hundred years Iteannot be removed.” “Nonsense,” said Washington Otis, “I have some Pinkerton’s Stain Remover from Americ, Itean remove any stain, Watch.” Washington Otis took the stain remover from a. bag, Pinkerton’s Stain Remover looked like a small black stick. He rubbed the stick onthe blood'-stan, A minute later the floor was clean, The stick had removed the stain quickly and easily, Mrs, Umney looked atthe floor. She was scared, No one had removed the blood-stain for three hundred years, Mrs Umney was very scared, “Pinkerton’s can remove anything,” said Washington Otis. “The blood-stain has gone.” Lightning flashed and lit the library. Thunder crashed over the house. Mrs, Umney fainted. ‘Mr and Mrs, Otis ran across the library. They helped the old housekeeper who lay on the floor, Mrs. Umney's eyes were closed and her face was pale “Mis, Umney! Mrs. Umney! cried Mrs, Otis. “Can you speak?” PMs, Umney opened her eyes, “Trouble will comet this house,” she said. “Ihave seen the ghost. The ghost will come to you.” Find a complete list of all Macmillan Readers at wwwamacmslanenglish.com/readers ca | ea) LU eT Washington Otis rubbed Pinkerton’s Stain Remover ‘on the bloo-stain All the Otises helped Mrs. Umney to stand up. “The ghost will come,” she said again, “You must not remove the blood-stain, You must not ciean the library floor, The ghost will be angry.” Then Mrs. Umney went upstairs to her room. ““Let’s look for the ghost,” said the Otis boys, “Let’s look around the house.” ‘The Otises looked around the house together. But they did not see the Canterville Ghost: That night the family went to bed early. The storm continued all night. The next morning they went into the library. The blood-stain had reappeared on the floor “‘{llremove thisblood-stain once more,” saic| Washington Otis. “Mother doesn’t want a blood-stain in the library. clean the floor again.” He removed the blood-stain with Pinkerton’s Stain Remover. The library floor was clean. But the next morning, the stain had come back again, “This is very strange,” said Mr. Otis. “I'l lock the library door at night, No one can come into the library. No one can puta stain on the floor.” “1 don’t think Pinkerton’s Stain Remover is bad,” said Washington Otis, “ think there really is a ghost. The ghost is making the blood-stain. The ghost puts the stain on the floor at night.” "We must find this ghost” said Mr: Hiram B, Otis “It must stop making these stains. Your mother does not like blood on the library floor.” That day the family went out. They walked around the countryside near Canterville Chase. They went to the nearby village. They looked at the old village houses. Then eee ervey ae they walked back to Canterville Chase through the woods. I ‘was a summer evening and the weather was fine It was late when they got back to the house. The Otises ‘were hungry and tired. After eating supper, they went to bed. The bedrooms were upstairs. There was @ long hallway “upstairs. The bedroom doors were along this hallway. Mr. Otis woke up after midnight. There was a strange noise outside his room. The sound was like metal chains ‘The chains were rubbing together. Mr. Otis got out of bed and opened the bedroom door. He looked into the hallway. He saw the Canterville Ghost in the hallway. The ghost was an old man with burning red eyes. He had long gray hair and wore very old-fashioned clothes. There were chains onhishands nd feet. He was rubbing the chains together so they made a noise “My dear sir, your chains make a terrible noise,” Mr Otis said to the ghost. “You must put some oil on those chains. Here is some Tammany Rising Sun Oil from the United States, Please put the oil on your chains.” Mr. Otis puta bottle of oil on a table in the hallway. Then he closed his bedroom door and went back to bed The Canterville Ghost was very surprised. He had lived in Canterville Chase for three hundred years. Everyone was seared of him, because everyone was afraid of ghosts. Bu this American gentleman was not afraid. The Canterville Ghost decided to work harder. He ‘wanted to scare the American, He made a terrible noise and shone a horrible green light in the hallway. Another door opened atthe end of the hallway. Mr Otis's youngest sons came out of their bedroom, The two young “Here is some Tammany Rising Sun Oil," said Mr. Otis. “Please put the ol on your chains.” “You mean itis the Garden of Death,” she said quietly “Yes, the Garden of Sleep,” said the ghost. “It is very beautiful, There is peace and silence. There is no yesterday and no tomorrow. But only Love can open the door to the garden, For Love is stronger than Death,” Virginia did not know what to say. She listened as the shost spoke again. “Have you read the writing on the library window?" "Yes" sail Virginia, “but I do not understand i.” “Look,” said the ghost. “Read the lines on the window.” Virginia looked at the window and read the lines of poetry: When a golden gil shall weep For the ghost that cant sleep, Then the dend at lst shall die Aandi restful earth may i. "The words mean you must weep for me,” said the unhappy ghost. “Then the Angel of Death will let me res. Will you help?” “What do I have to do? asked Virginia, “You have to come with me into the darkness. You will see strange things. You will hear strange voices, but nothing will hart you. You are good and nice. The dark canot hurt you.” Virginia did not answer and the ghost waited. He had ‘waited for tinree hundred years, This was the longest minute of all that time. “Lam not afraid,” said Virginia at last, “Iwill come with you into the dark.” ‘The ghost kissed her hand. His lips were cold like ice, but they bumed like fire. The ghost held her hand and they walked to the wall of the library. The wall opened. There was darkness beyond the wall and a cold wind. Voices spoke out of the wind. “Go back, Virginia. Go back before itis too late.” Virginia walked into the darkness with the ghost. Virginia and the ghost disappeared through the library wall. Virginia did not come downstairs for supper. Mr, Otis sent ‘one of the servants to her room, The servant could not find Virginia so everybody searched the house. They looked everywhere but they could not find her. Me. and Mrs. Otis were very worried. It-was a summer evening and the sun had not set, so the family and the servants searched the gardens before it ‘was dark, In the garden, there were many trees and a deep pond. They looked in the pond. They looked in the trees. ‘Then they asked people at the railway station. But no one had seen Virginia, Mr, Otis went to tell the village policeman that Virginia had disappeared. But, by that time, it was dark and no one could search any more that night. No one in the family wanted to eat or sleep. They satin the libraty and waited. They hoped Virginia would return safely. They planned to search for Virginia again in the ‘morning. It was midnight when the family decided to go to bed. They left the library and started to walk up the stairs together. Suddenly, all the clocks in the house struck twelve and they heard a tertible noise. Thunder crashed outside the house and the Otises heard a dreadful cry. Strange music sounded inside the house and a door opened at the top of the stairs STORY The Canterville Ghost Virginia stood in the doorway. She looked down the stairs at them. Her face was very pale and she caried a small box in her hand. “Where have you been?” Mr. Otis asked angrily. “Your mother has been Very worried. You have scared us all. You must never play a trick like this again.” “Except on the ghost,” said the twins. “You can play tricks on the ghost!” “Father” Virginia said quietly, “I have been with the ghost. He is dead and now he can rest. He gave me this box ‘of beautifl jewels before he died.” She showed her father the small box: Inside was a necklace made of red stones, “Where did yor get this?” asked her father. “Where have you been?” Mz. Otis forgot to be angry. He was so happy to see that Virginia was safe Come. I'l show you,” said Virginia She turned back fo the door atthe top of the stairs. Her family followed her. Washington Otis caried alighted candle Virginia led them along a secret hallway. They came to an old wooden door which was open. Beyond the door was a little room with alow ceiling. There was an iron ring in the wall and two chains. At the end of the chains was a body. Only bones remained. It was a skeleton, "This is the body of Sir Simon de Canterville,” said Virginia, "He murdered his wife in 1575. Then his wife’s brothers shut him in this room, He was given no food. Sir ‘Simon starved to death, His ghost was in this house for three ‘hundred years. But now he has found peace.” ‘The Otis family looked around the litle room and did not know what to say. Virginia knelt on the floor beside the skeleton and began to pray.
