When Mr Hiram B Otis, the American ambassador, bought Canterville Chase, eveiy one told him it was a very foolish thing to do, as the place was haunted.

At eleven o'clock the family went to bed, and by half-past all the lights were out. Some time after, Mr Otis woke up because of a noise outside his room. It sounded like the clank of metal. He got up at once, struck a match, and looked at the time. It was exactly one o'clock. Mr Otis was quite calm. The strange noise continued, and with it he heard the sound of footsteps. He put on his slippers, took a small bottle out of his dressing case, and opened the door. Right in front of him he saw an old man. He looked terrible. His eyes were red; his hair was long and grey; his clothes were old-fashioned and dirty, and there were handcuffs and rusty chains on his wrists and ankles.

"My dear sir," said Mr Otis, "those chains need oiling. Here take this small bottle of lubricant. I will leave it here for you and I will give you more if you need it." With these words the ambassador put the bottle down on a marble table, and went back to bed, closing the door behind him.

Когда мистер Хайрам Б. Отис, американский посланник, купил Кентервиль Чейз, все сказали ему, что это очень глупо, поскольку в этом месте обитало привидение.

перевод:

В одиннадцать часов семья отправилась спать, и к половине двенадцатого весь свет был погашен. Некоторое время спустя мистер Отис проснулся из-за шума за дверью комнаты. Шум напоминал лязг металла. Мистер Отис сразу встал, зажег спичку и посмотрел на время. Ровно час ночи. Мистер Отис был довольно-таки спокоен. Странный шум продолжался, а еще слышался звук шагов. Он надел тапочки, вынул из дорожной сумки маленькую бутылочку и открыл дверь. Прямо перед собой он увидел старика. Тот выглядел ужасно. У были красные глаза, длинные седые волосы. Одежда его была старомодной и грязной, а на запястьях и лодыжках у него были наручники и ржавые цепи.

«Милостивый государь, — сказал мистер Отис, — эти цепи необходимо смазать. Возьмите эту маленькую бутылочку смазки, я оставлю ее здесь, и я дам вам еще больше, если нужно». С этими словами посланник поставил бутылочку на мраморный столик и вернулся в постель, закрыв за собой дверь.
