CANTERVILLE GHOST
At eleven o’clock the family went to bed, and by half-past all the lights were (1) ………. and
the darkness fell all over the house. Some time after, Mr. Otis was awakened (2) ………. a strange
noise in the corridor, outside his room. It sounded like the clank of metal, and seemed to be
coming nearer (3) ………. moment. He got up at once, struck a match, and looked (4) ………. the time.
It was exactly one o'clock. He was quite calm, and felt his pulse, which was not at (5) ………. fast. The
strange noise still continued, and with it he heard the sound (6) ………. footsteps. He put on his
slippers, took a small bottle (7) ………. of his dressing-case, and opened (8) ………. door. Right in front
of him he saw, in the moonlight, a terrible old man. His eyes were (9) ………. red as burning coals;
long grey beard fell (10) ………. his shoulders; his old-fashioned clothes were dirty and torn, and
from his wrists and ankles hung heavy chains.
"My dear sir," said Mr. Otis, "I really must ask you (11) ………. oil those chains. I have brought
you a small bottle of the Tammany Rising Sun Lubricator. It (12) ………. said to help after just one
drop, and some people confirmed that. I (13) ………. leave it here for you by the bedroom candles,
and will be happy to give you more, if you need (14) ………. ." With these words the United States
Minister laid the bottle down on a table, and, closing his door, went back (15) …… his room to rest.
(16) ………. a moment the Canterville ghost stood angry without (17) ………. movement; then,
throwing the bottle violently (18) ………. the polished floor, he ran down the corridor screaming and
emitting a strange green light. Just, however, (19) ………. he reached the top of the great staircase, a
door was opened, two little white figures appeared, and a large pillow was thrown past his head!
There was (20) ………. time to be lost, so, speedily adopting the Fourth dimension of Space as a
means of escape, he disappeared and the house became quite quiet.
After reaching a small secret room, (21) ………. leaned up against a moonbeam to recover his
breath, and began to try and realize his position. Never, in a brilliant career of three hundred years,
(22) ………. he been so insulted. And after all this some wretched modern Americans were to come
and offer him the Rising Sun Lubricator, and throw pillows (23) ………. his head! It was quite
unbearable. Besides, no ghost in history had ever been treated (24) ………. this manner. Accordingly,
he determined to have vengeance, and remained (25) ………. daylight in an attitude of deep thought.
Adapted from Oscar Wilde “Canterville Ghost”
