Then
shall
all
the
house
be
still
And
peace
come
to
Canterville
.
'
But
I
do
n't
know
what
they
mean
.
"
"
They
mean
,
"
he
said
,
sadly
,
"
that
you
must
weep
with
me
for
my
sins
,
because
I
have
no
tears
,
and
pray
with
me
for
my
soul
,
because
I
have
no
faith
,
and
then
,
if
you
have
always
been
sweet
,
and
good
,
and
gentle
,
the
angel
of
death
will
have
mercy
on
me
.
You
will
see
fearful
shapes
in
darkness
,
and
wicked
voices
will
whisper
in
your
ear
,
but
they
will
not
harm
you
,
for
against
the
purity
of
a
little
child
the
powers
of
Hell
can
not
prevail
.
"
Virginia
made
no
answer
,
and
the
ghost
wrung
his
hands
in
wild
despair
as
he
looked
down
at
her
bowed
golden
head
.
Suddenly
she
stood
up
,
very
pale
,
and
with
a
strange
light
in
her
eyes
.
"
I
am
not
afraid
,
"
she
said
firmly
,
"
and
I
will
ask
the
angel
to
have
mercy
on
you
.
"
He
rose
from
his
seat
with
a
faint
cry
of
joy
,
and
taking
her
hand
bent
over
it
with
oldfashioned
grace
and
kissed
it
.
His
fingers
were
as
cold
as
ice
,
and
his
lips
burned
like
fire
,
but
Virginia
did
not
falter
,
as
he
led
her
across
the
dusky
room
.
On
the
faded
green
tapestry
were
broidered
little
huntsmen
.
They
blew
their
tasselled
horns
and
with
their
tiny
hands
waved
to
her
to
go
back
.
"
Go
back
!
little
Virginia
,
"
they
cried
,
"
go
back
!
"
but
the
ghost
clutched
her
hand
more
tightly
,
and
she
shut
her
eyes
against
them
.
Horrible
animals
with
lizard
tails
and
goggle
eyes
blinked
at
her
from
the
carven
chimneypiece
,
and
murmured
,
"
Beware
!
little
Virginia
,
beware
!
we
may
never
see
you
again
,
"
but
the
Ghost
glided
on
more
swiftly
,
and
Virginia
did
not
listen
.
When
they
reached
the
end
of
the
room
he
stopped
,
and
muttered
some
words
she
could
not
understand
.
She
opened
her
eyes
,
and
saw
the
wallslowly
fading
away
like
a
mist
,
and
a
great
black
cavern
in
front
of
her
.
A
bitter
cold
wind
swept
round
them
,
and
she
felt
something
pulling
at
her
dress
.
"
Quick
,
quick
,
"
cried
the
Ghost
,
"
or
it
will
be
too
late
,
"
and
in
a
moment
the
wainscoting
had
closed
behind
them
,
and
the
Tapestry
Chamber
was
empty
.
About
ten
minutes
later
,
the
bell
rang
for
tea
,
and
,
as
Virginia
did
not
come
down
,
Mrs.
Otis
sent
up
one
of
the
footmen
to
tell
her
.
After
a
little
time
he
returned
and
said
that
he
could
not
find
Miss
Virginia
anywhere
.
As
she
was
in
the
habit
of
going
out
to
the
garden
every
evening
to
get
flowers
for
the
dinner-table
,
Mrs.
Otis
was
not
at
all
alarmed
at
first
,
but
when
six
o'clock
struck
,
and
Virginia
did
not
appear
,
she
became
really
agitated
,
and
sent
the
boys
out
to
look
for
her
,
while
she
herself
and
Mr.
Otis
searched
every
room
in
the
house
.
At
half-past
six
the
boys
came
back
and
said
that
they
could
find
no
trace
of
their
sister
anywhere
.
They
were
all
now
in
the
greatest
state
of
excitement
,
and
did
not
know
what
to
do
,
when
Mr.
Otis
suddenly
remembered
that
,
some
few
days
before
,
he
had
given
a
band
of
gipsies
permission
to
camp
in
the
park
.
He
accordingly
at
once
set
off
for
Blackfell
Hollow
,
where
he
knew
they
were
,
accompanied
by
his
eldest
son
and
two
of
the
farm-servants
.
The
little
Duke
of
Cheshire
,
who
was
perfectly
frantic
with
anxiety
,
begged
hard
to
be
allowed
to
go
too
,
but
Mr.
Otis
would
not
allow
him
,
as
he
was
afraid
there
might
be
a
scuffle
.
On
arriving
at
the
spot
,
however
,
he
found
that
the
gipsies
had
gone
,
and
it
was
evident
that
their
departure
had
been
rather
sudden
,
as
the
fire
was
still
burning
,
and
some
plates
were
lying
on
the
grass
.
Having
sent
off
Washington
and
the
two
men
to
scour
the
district
,
he
ran
home
,
and
despatched
telegrams
to
all
the
police
inspectors
in
the
county
,
telling
them
to
look
out
for
a
little
girl
who
had
been
kidnapped
by
tramps
or
gipsies
.
He
then
ordered
his
horse
to
be
brought
round
,
and
,
after
insisting
on
his
wife
and
the
three
boys
sitting
down
to
dinner
,
rode
off
down
the
Ascot
road
with
a
groom
.
He
had
hardly
,
however
,
gone
a
couple
of
miles
,
when
he
heard
somebody
galloping
after
him
,
and
,
looking
round
,
saw
the
little
Duke
coming
up
on
his
pony
,
with
his
face
very
flushed
,
and
no
hat
.
"
I
'm
awfully
sorry
,
Mr.
Otis
,
"
gasped
out
the
boy
,
"
but
I
ca
n't
eat
any
dinner
as
long
as
Virginia
is
lost
.
Please
do
n't
be
angry
with
me
;
if
you
had
let
us
be
engaged
last
year
,
there
would
never
have
been
all
this
trouble
.
You
wo
n't
send
me
back
,
will
you
?
I
ca
n't
go
!
I
wo
n't
go
!
"
The
Minister
could
not
help
smiling
at
the
handsome
young
scapegrace
,
and
was
a
good
deal
touched
at
his
devotion
to
Virginia
,
so
leaning
down
from
his
horse
,
he
patted
him
kindly
on
the
shoulders
,
and
said
,
"
Well
,
Cecil
,
if
you
wo
n't
go
back
,
I
suppose
you
must
come
with
me
,
but
I
must
get
you
a
hat
at
Ascot
.
"
"
Oh
,
bother
my
hat
!
I
want
Virginia
!
"
cried
the
little
Duke
,
laughing
,
and
they
galloped
on
to
the
railway
station
.
There
Mr.
Otis
inquired
of
the
station-master
if
any
one
answering
to
the
description
of
Virginia
had
been
seen
on
the
platform
,
but
could
get
no
news
of
her
.
The
station-master
,
however
,
wired
up
and
down
the
line
,
and
assured
him
that
a
strict
watch
would
be
kept
for
her
,
and
,
after
having
bought
a
hat
for
the
little
Duke
from
a
linen-draper
,
who
was
just
putting
up
his
shutters
,
Mr.
Otis
rode
off
to
Bexley
,
a
village
about
four
miles
away
,
which
he
was
told
was
a
well-known
haunt
of
the
gipsies
,
as
there
was
a
large
common
next
to
it
.
Here
they
roused
up
the
rural
policeman
,
but
could
get
no
information
from
him
,
and
,
after
riding
all
over
the
common
,
they
turned
their
horses
'
heads
homewards
,
and
reached
the
Chase
about
eleven
o'clock
,
dead-tired
and
almost
heart-broken
.
They
found
Washington
and
the
twins
waiting
for
them
at
the
gatehouse
with
lanterns
,
as
the
avenue
was
very
dark
.
Not
the
slightest
trace
of
Virginia
had
been
discovered
.
The
gipsies
had
been
caught
on
Brockley
meadows
,
but
she
was
not
with
them
,
and
they
had
explained
their
sudden
departure
by
saying
that
they
had
mistaken
the
date
of
Chorton
Fair
,
and
had
gone
off
in
a
hurry
for
fear
they
should
be
late
.
