Otis: Here, take this bottle of oil (he hands the bottle to the ghost) and oil your chains. He opens the door and there in front is the ghost in chains.) Mr Otis gets up and puts on his slippers and dressing gown. There is a strange ratting noise and it was getting louder and louder. Mr Otis: Maybe the house is haunted after all. When the lights come back on, the blood stain is back.) (Then there is thunder and lightning and Mrs Umney faints. Then, Sir Simon disappeared and his body has never been found.
She was murdered by her husband Sir Simon Canterville 500 years ago. That is the blood of Lady Eleanor Canterville. Mrs Umney: I’m afraid that is impossible.
(The children all come in and inspect the blood stain on the carpet.) I think I spilled something on your carpet. (Meanwhile in the library Mrs Otis is inspecting the ground carefully.) Lewis: Then at last Sir Simon can sleep in his tomb and at Canterville all will be alright. James: If a child enters the secret room and stays until dead of night. Lewis: Look what’s that? (He picks a note up from the floor.) Mr and Mrs Otis sit on them and Mrs Umney serves them tea.) (There is a table and two chairs on the left side of the stage. Mrs Umney: Welcome, I’m Mrs Umney the housekeeper. They are greeted by an old woman dressed in an apron.) (Mr and Mrs Otis and their four children, Virginia, James, Lewis and Clark, enter. Otis: I don’t believe in ghosts, Lord Canterville, so I’m sure I have nothing to be frightened of. They don’t see the ghost but the audience does.) Lord Canterville: (Looks at him hesitantly.) Perhaps, I should mention that Canterville Castle is haunted by a ghost. I’m sure my family will be very happy here. Lord Canterville: Well, it looks like we have a deal, Mr Otis. (Outside Canterville Castle there is a sign for sale which Lord Canterville is taking down.) Characters: Lord Canterville, Mr Otis, Mrs Otis, Virginia, James, Lewis, Clark, (Lewis and Clark are twins), Mrs Umney and Sir Simon (the ghost).
