A suit of armour had fallen on the floor and in a chair sat the Canterville ghost and rubbed his knees, which seemed to hurt. Shortly after the family had gone to bed they heard a fearful crash in the hall. The second appearance of the ghost was on Sunday night.
For some unexplained reason, she was rather annoyed at the sight of the blood-stain, and nearly cried the morning it was green. The only person who did not enter into the joke was Virginia. These changes amused the family very much, and bets on the colour were made every evening. Some mornings it was red, then brown or purple, or even green. It was also quite strange that the colour of the stain changed from time to time. The only strange thing that happened was the blood-stain, which they found on the library-floor every morning. The ghost did not appear for the rest of the week.
