When Mr. Hiram B Otis, the american ambassador, bought Canterville Chase, every one told him it was a very foolish thing to do, as the place was haunted.Some time after, Mr Otis woke up because of a noise outside his room.It was exactly one o'clock. Mr Otis was quite calm.It was exactly one o'clock. Mr Otis was quite calm.His eyes were red his hair was long and grey his clothes were old-fashion and dirty and there were handcuffs and rusty chains on his wrists and ankles.With these words the ambassador put the bottle down on a marble table and went back to bed closing the door behind him.
