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. Even the twins took a special liking to him.
