Virginia knelt downbeside the skeleton, and, folding her little hands together, began to pray silently.Meanwhile, one of the twins was looking out of the window in the little room and suddenly said, 'Look! The old almond-tree has blossoms.'Virginia responded, 'Then God has forgiven him,' and stood up.
- Four days later, a funeral started from Canterville Castle. In a quiet corner of the churchyard, Sir Simon's skeleton was buried. When the ceremony was over, Virginia stepped forward and laid a large cross made of white and pink almond-blossoms on the coffin.
- The next morning, Mr. Otis discussed the jewels the ghost had given to Virginia with Sir Simon's descendant, Sir Canterville. The jewels had such a significant value that Mr. Otis had reservations about letting his daughter keep them. However, Sir Canterville shook his hand and said, 'My dear Sir, your charming little daughter saved my ancestor's soul. The jewels are hers.'
