Question

Character sketch of Washington Otis (150-200 words).

Answer 1

Washington was the eldest son of Mr. Hiram B Otis. He was a fair-haired, good-looking young man. He had qualified himself for American diplomacy by leading the German at the Newport Casino for three successive seasons, and even in London was well known as an excellent dancer. Gardenias and the peerage were his only weaknesses. Otherwise he was extremely sensible. He did not believe in the presenceof ghosts. He waved aside Mrs Umney's spooky description of the blood mark on the floor, and immediately removed the blood stain using Pinkerton's Champion Stain Remover and Paragon Detergent. Later on, when the blood stain reappeared repeated lyon the library floor, in place of feeling scared, he had complete confidence in the quality of the detergent as he had used it successfully on earlier occasions. He decided to write a letter to Messrs. Myers and Podmore on the subject of the Permanence of Sanguineous Stains when connected with Crime.
