Answer:
Explanation:
One day the family of Mr Otis went out to drive. They returned home at 9 o’clock and retired at 11 o’clock. All lights were switched off by half past. Mr Otis was awakened by a curious noise in the corridor. It sounded like the clank of metal. He got up and looked at the time. It was exactly one o’clock. He came out and saw an old man whose eyes were as red as burning coals. Mr Otis offered him a small bottle of the Tammany Rising Sun Lubricator to oil his chains. And after putting the bottle down on a marble table the United States Minister closed the door to take rest. The Canterville ghost stood quite motionless in natural indignation. Mr Otis did not get frighten and talk to him without any inhibition. So, their first interaction perturbed the ghost and he was bound to retreat. The family had no fear of the ghost. They slept peacefully in the presence of the ghost.
