An upset Ghost

After he had said this, Mr Otis put the bottle down on a stone table near his door. Then he closed the door, and went back to bed. The Canterville Ghost could not believe what had just happened to him.

He stood completely still for several seconds, and then he threw the bottle on to the floor as hard as he could. He ran off along the corridor, making a horrible noise and lit up by a terrible green light.
