CHAPTER 9/10

One day, Virginia was walking along the 1. corridor / garden / street, when she saw a person in one of the rooms and went in. To her surprise, it was the Canterville
ghost and he looked really 2. sad / shocked / worried.
'I am so sorry for you,' she said, 'but my brothers are going back to school tomorrow, and then, if you behave yourself, no one will annoy you.'
'That is absurd!’ the ghost answered, 'I’m what I am and I cannot but rattle my 3 chains/ hands / feet and walk about at night. It is my only reason for existing.'
'It is no reason at all for existing, and you know you have been very 4. friendly/ nasty/ stubborn. Mrs Umney told us that you killed your 5. brothers/ wife/ son.'
'Well, I admit it,' said the ghost, 'but my wife didn’t love me, you know, and she knew nothing about 6. love/ cookery/ housework. However, it is all over now,
and I don't think it was very nice of her 7. servants / family / brothers to starve me to death.'
'Starve you to death? Oh, Mr Ghost, I mean Sir Simon, are you hungry? I have a sandwich in my case. Would you like it?'
'No, thank you, I never eat anything now; but it is very kind of you. You are much nicer than the rest of your 8. kind / rude / practical, dishonest family.'
'Stop!' cried Virginia, 'it is you who are rude! You stole 9. the paints/ clothes/ jewels out of my box to renew that ridiculous bloodstain in the library. First you
took all my reds and then the 10. green/ black/ pink & the yellow. Finally, I had no blue & white paints, & it wasn’t 11. easy/ hard/ nice at all to continue to paint.'
Very angry, Virginia turned around to leave the room but the ghost cried:
'Please don't go, Miss Virginia! 'I am so 12. rude/ miserable/ kind & I really don't know what to do. I want to go to sleep & I cannot. I have not slept for 13. four/
two/ three hundred years, and I am so tired!'
'Poor, poor Ghost,' she murmured; 'Can’t you find a place to sleep?'
'Well, I know where I could sleep – it's the Garden of 14. Birds/ Death/ Ghosts. But only if you 15. weep/ come /
talk for me & my sins & 16. come/ pray/ save with me for my soul, the Angel of Death will have mercy on me.’
When Virginia promised to help him, he stood up, took her hand and kissed it 17. thankfully / quickly / sadly. Then he
led her across the room. Virginia suddenly saw the wall slowly 18. fading / running / falling away like a mist, and a
very 19. warm / cold / thick wind was around them at once making her feel frightened.
'Quick, quick,' cried the ghost, 'or it’ll be too late.' Then the wall closed behind them, and the room was empty.
