Bring out the comical element in the first encounter between Mr. Otis and the ghost.
Answers
The comical element in the first encounter between Mr. Otis and the ghost was that the former did not show any sign of fear while meeting with the ghost. He very matter-of-factly and calmly asked the ghost walk about the house quietly as his rusty chains were causing disturbance to him and his family. He advised him to oil his chains, and offered a small bottle of the Tammany Rising Sun Lubricator. He laid the bottle down on a marble table, and, closing his door, retired to rest.
For a moment the Canterville ghost stood quite motionless in natural indignation; then, dashing the bottle violently upon the polished floor, he fled down the corridor, uttering hollow groans, and emitting a ghastly green light. Just, however, as he reached the top of the great oak staircase, a door was flung open, two little white-robed figures (the mischievous twins) appeared, and flung a large pillow at him.
It was first time in the History of encounters between ghosts and human beings that a ghost became scared of humans!
