"She came towards him, and kneeling down at his side, looked up into his old, withered face. 'Poor, poor Ghost,' she murmured;'have you no place where you can sleep?' " (P 40 L 15~17)
I read The Canterville Ghost
. Its author is Oscar Wilde, and it appeared in book form in 1891, in a collection of stories for adults called Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stones. The story of the book is about the Otises, an American family who buy an old house from Lord Canterville, an English aristocrats. The house has been haunted by the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville for 300 years. The Otises don't believe in the ghost at first, and when he appears, they are excited at the existence of the ghost without being scared. That makes him feel depressed and frustrated by not playing his role in frightening people as a ghost. One day, Virginia, the only daughter of the Otises, comes across the ghost. Thank to her, he can die completely.
In the book, I like a scene that Sir Simon was scared at another ghost which the twins of the Otises were disguised as in order to make a fun of him, because the ghost hadn't seen other ghosts except him even when he was alive. While reading, it was so hard for me to smoothly read tho book,because insertions are included a lot in the book.
If you's like to read a book on a strange but nice ghost, I strongly recommend The Canterville Ghost.
