‘But it was a family matter, and nobody else’s business.’ ‘It’s very wrong to kill someone,’ said Virginia. ‘Oh, its easy for people to blame me when they don’t understand!’ replied the Canterville Ghost. ‘My wife was plain — even ugly — and she was a bad housekeeper. She knew nothing about cooking. But it doesn’t matter now; it was a long time ago. But I don’t think it was very nice of her brothers to make me die of hunger, even if I did kill her.’ ‘Die of hunger?’ said Virginia. ‘Oh, Mr Ghost — I mean Sir Simon — are you hungry? I have a sandwich in my case. Would you like it?’ ‘No, thank you,’ said the ghost. ‘I never eat anything now. But it’s very kind of you. You’re much nicer than the rest of your nasty, rude, dishonest family.’ ‘Stop!’ cried Virginia angrily. ‘You’re the one who’s rude and nasty. And if we’re talking about dishonesty, you know you stole the paints out of my box to make that silly bloodstain in the library.’ The ghost was silent. ‘First you took all my red colours, and I couldn’t paint any more pictures of the sun going down in the evenings,’ Virginia continued. ‘Then you took the green and the yellow. In the end I only had dark blue and white, so I could only paint moonlight scenes, which are very difficult. I never told the others about it, although it was very annoying and silly. Who has ever heard of bright green blood?’ ‘Well, really,’ said the ghost, rather ashamed, ‘what could I do? It’s very difficult to get real blood these days. And because your brother started the fight with his Wonder Stain Cleaner, it seemed all right to take your paints. What’s wrong with that? You Americans don’t understand anything.’ ‘You don’t know anything about Americans or America,’ said Virginia. ‘Why don’t you go there? Father will be happy to pay for your ticket to travel on a ship. There are people in America who would pay a hundred thousand dollars to have a family ghost.’ ‘No, thank you,’ said the ghost. ‘I don’t think I’d like America.’ ‘Why? Because it doesn’t have any terrible old houses?’ said Virginia. ‘Because everything’s new and modern?’ She was angry now. ‘Excuse me. I’ll go and ask my father to give the twins another week’s holiday!’ ‘Please don’t go, Miss Virginia,’ cried the ghost. ‘I’m so lonely and unhappy, and I really don’t know what to do. I want to go to sleep, but I can’t.’ ‘That’s silly!’ she said. ‘You just go to bed and blow out the candle. There’s no difficulty about sleeping. Even babies know how to do that, and they aren’t very clever.’ ‘I haven’t slept for 300 years,’ the ghost said sadly. Virginias beautiful blue eyes got bigger and bigger with surprise. ‘Three hundred years!’ she said. ‘Yes,’ said the ghost. ‘And I’m so tired.’ Virginia’s little lips began to shake like the leaves of a flower, and she came towards

him. She looked into his old, tired face.
