Oscar Wilde, the Canterville Ghost.0:05
When Mr. Hiram B. Otis, the american ambassador, bought Canterville Chase, everyone told him it was a very foolish thing to do, as the place was haunted.0:14
At 11 o' clock, the family went to bed, and by half past all the lights were out.0:29
Sometime after, Mr. Otis woke up because of a noise outside his room.0:36
It sounded like the clank of metal.0:43
He got up at once, struck a match and looked at the time.0:47
It was exactly one o'. Clock.0:53
Mr. Otis was quite calm.0:56
The strange noise continued, and with it he heard the sound of footsteps.0:59
He put on his slippers, took a small bottle out of his dressing case and opened the door.1:06
Right in front of him he saw an old man.1:14
His eyes were red, his hair was long and grey.1:21
His clothes were old fashioned and dirty, and there were handcuffs and rusty chains on his wrists and ankles.1:26
My Dear sir, said Mr. Otis, those chains need oiling.1:36
Here, take the small bottle of lubricant.1:41
I will leave it here for you, and I will give you more if you need it.1:43
With these words, the ambassador put the bottle down on a marble table and went back to bed, closing the door behind him.1:47
