Chereads / The Cartersville Ghost / Chapter 8 - The End

Chapter 8 - The End

Four days later, a funeral is organized and in a quiet corner of the churchyard, Sir Simon's

skeleton is buried.ย  The next morning, Mr. Otis talks to Sir Simon's descendant, Sir Canterville, about the jewels the ghost had given to Virginia.๐Ÿ˜ฎ

The jewels are by everyone when, in the spring of 1890, Virginia marries the Duke of

Cheshire. After their honeymoon, Virginia and her husband go down to Canterville Castle. Virginia places a bunch of roses on the grave.

'You have never told me what happened to you when you were locked up with the ghost.' asks her husband.๐Ÿคจ

'Please don't ask me, I cannot tell you,' she said, 'but I owe Sir Simon a great deal. He made me see

what Life is, and what Death signifies, and why Love is stronger than both.'
