Reason ,was always a good deal distressed at the sight of the blood-stain,and very nearly cried the morning it was emerald-green

The second appearance of the ghost was on Sunday night.shortly after they had gone to bed they were suddenly alarmed by a fearful crash in the hall .rushing down-stairs ,they found that a large suit of old armour had become detached from its stand ,and had fallen on the stone floor ,while seated in a high-backed chair was the Centerville ghost, rubbing his knees , having brought their pea shooters with them,at once discharged two pellets on him ,with the accuracy of aim which can only be attained by long and careful practice on a writing master , while the United States minister covered him with his revolver , and called upon him ,in accordance with Californian etiquette ,to hold up his hands!the ghost started up with a wild shriek of rage,and swept through them like a mist, extinguishing Washington Otis,s candle as a passed ,and so leaving them all in total darkness .on reaching the top of the staircase he recovered himself, and determined to give his celebrated peal of demoniac laughter .this he had on more than one occasion found extremely useful.It was said to have turned lord ranker,s wig gray in a single night ,and had certainly made three of lady CANTERVILLE,s french governesses give warning before their month was up.he accordingly laughed his most horrible laugh, till the old vaulted roof rang again , but hardly had the fearful echo died away when a door opened ,and mrs Otis came out in a light blue dressing-gown. I am afraid you are far from well ,”she said,”and have brought you a bottle of doctor dobell,s tincture. If it is indigestion,you will find it a most excellent remedy.”

Word-notes :agony =pain; demoniac=like a domon or evil spirit; give warning before their month was up=submit resignation while they were still employed; tincture=a medicine made of drug mixed with alcohol.
