1) athe prophesy on the library window was as follows
'When a golden girl can win
Prayer from out the lips of sin,
When the barren almond bears,
And a little child gives away its tears,
Then shall all the house be still
And peace come to Canterville.'
It actually meant that if Virginia being a gentl and kind girl will cry for the ghost whole heartedly...then the angel of death will give reat to the canterville ghost.
2)Sir simon was starved to death by his wife's brothers as a revenge for killing their sister. He was chained to a large ring in an old room..and food and water were kept in front of him but out of his reach.
