room. Mrs Otis sent a servant to fetch her, but after a little time he came back. ‘I can’t find Miss Virginia anywhere,’ he said. At first, Mrs Otis did not worry. She knew that Virginia liked to go out into the garden in the evenings to get flowers for the dinner-table. But at six o’clock she sent the twins out to look for their sister while she and Mr Otis searched every room in the house. At half-past six the boys came back. ‘We can’t find Virginia anywhere,’ they said. Everyone was now very anxious. They searched the house again, and then the gardens and the park. Next they searched the woods and fields round Canterville Chase, but they still could not find Virginia. Mr Otis, Washington and two male servants went into the village. ‘Have you seen Virginia?’ they asked people. But nobody could help. When it was almost midnight, they went back to the house. They were very worried, but they could do nothing more until the morning. Everyone was in the hall when the clock sounded midnight. Suddenly they heard a loud noise, followed by a terrible cry. A crash of thunder shook the house, and the sound of ghostly music filled their ears. A secret door in the wall at the top of the stairs opened ... and Virginia stepped out. She looked very pale, and there was a little jewel box in her hand. They all rushed to her. Mrs Otis took her in her arms; the Duke of Cheshire could not stop kissing her; the twins went into a wild war dance round the group. ‘Where have you been?’ said Mr Otis. ‘We looked everywhere for you! Your mother’s been frightened to death. You must never play these tricks again!’ ‘Except on the ghost! Except on the ghost!‘ shouted the twins, laughing and dancing about. ‘My dear little girl, thank God you’re safe,’ said Mrs Otis. ’You must never leave my side again, Virginia.’ And she kissed the shaking child and put a hand in the golden hair. ‘Father,’ said Virginia quietly, ’I’ve been with the Ghost. He’s dead, and you must come and see him. He was very bad, but he was also really sorry for everything that he did. He gave me this box of beautiful jewels before he died.’ They stared at her in surprise, but she led them through the opening in the wall and down a narrow secret passage. It was lit by a candle that Washington was holding in his hand. Finally they came to a great black door. Virginia touched it, and it moved back heavily. They stepped into a little low room with a stone ceiling and one very small window. There was a large iron ring in the wall, and they saw a skeleton chained to it. The skeleton was lying on the stone floor. It seemed to be reaching for a wooden plate and a water pot which had been placed just too far away from it. Virginia put her hands together and began to pray silently. The others looked down at

the skeleton of Sir Simon de Canterville. ‘God has forgiven him,’ said Virginia, and a beautiful light seemed to appear around her face. ‘What a wonderful person you are!’ cried the young Duke of Cheshire, and he kissed her.
