Summary of canterville ghost chapter 1 to 5
Answers
One day, Virginia has an encounter with the ghost who looked very sad. She offers him food and asks him to behave himself. The ghost confesses that he had killed his “not so nice” wife. The ghost also thanks Virginia for being kind unlike the rest of her family.
‘Stop!’ cried Virginia, stamping her foot, ‘it is you who are rude, and as for dishonesty, you stole the
paints out of my box to renew that ridiculous blood-stain in the library. First, you took all my reds
and I couldn’t do any more sunsets, then you took the green and the yellow. Finally, I had nothing
left but blue and white, and I could only do moonlight scenes, which are not at all easy to paint.’
Having said this, Virginia turns around to leave the room. The ghost apologizes for his behavior and asks Virginia for a favor.
When Virginia promises to help the ghost and pray for him, he rises from his seat, takes her hand and kisses it thankfully. Then he leads her across the room. Then the wall closes behind them.
