The Canterville Ghost, Chapter 4: samenvatting

Wat er gebeurt

1. Exhausted, the ghost abandons the bloodstain and quietly continues his appearances, using stolen lubricant to silence his chains.
2. After slipping on the twins’ butter trap, he prepares a headless disguise, but their falling water jug sends him fleeing.
3. On September 19, the twins frighten him in the entrance hall, and Washington blocks his escape with a garden syringe.
4. The ghost escapes through the stove and chimneys, then stops appearing at night while the family resumes its activities.
5. Hoping to frighten the visiting Duke of Cheshire, he prepares another performance but stays inside because he fears the twins.
