The ghost‘s appearance as the ‘Headless Earl’ to frighten the twins was not very successful. What actions of the twins made the ghost flee? What was his only consolation?
Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:
The ghost made a very theatrical appearance to frighten the Otis twins. At a quarter-past one he glided out of the wainscoting and crept down the corridor. On reaching the room occupied by the twins, he found the door just ajar. Wishing to make an effective entrance, he flung it wide open, when a heavy jug of water fell right down on him, wetting him to the skin, and just missing his left shoulder by a couple of inches. At the same moment he heard stifled shrieks of laughter proceeding from the fourpost bed. The shock to his nervous system was so great that he fled back to his room as hard as he could go, and the next day he was laid up with a severe cold. The only thing that at all consoled him in the whole affair was the fact that he had not brought his head
with him, for, had he done so, the consequences might have been very serious.
