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 talked to Sir Simon's descendant, Sir Canterville, about the jewels the ghost had given to Virginia. Their value was so great that Mr Otis had scruples about allowing hisdaughter to keep them. But Sir Canterville shook his hand and said him , Your charming little daughter had saved his ancestor's soul. And the jewels was hers. Then jewels were admired by everyone when, in the spring of 1890, Virginia married the Duke ofCheshire.
After their honeymoon, Virginia and her husband went down to Canterville Castle and on the day after their arrival they walked over to the churchyard. Virginia had brought some lovely roses, which she strewed upon the grave, and after they had stood by it for some time her husband took her hand And said her She had never told him what happened to she when she had locked up with the ghost. She said Please didn't ask her, she couldn´t tell him, but I owe Sir Simon a great deal. He had made her see what Life was, and what Death signifies, and why Love was stronger than both.
