The ghost is buried

Four days after these curious incidents a funeral started from Canterville Chase at about eleven o'clock at night.

The hearse was drawn by eight black horses, each of which carried on its head a great nodding ostrich-plume, and the leaden coffin was covered by a rich purple pall, on which was embroidered in gold the Canterville coat-of-arms.
