Mr. Hiram Otis, the american ambassador, bought Canterville Chase. It was a very foolish thing to do, rumours said that the place was haunted. At eleven o'clock the family went to bed. Some time later, Mr Otis woke up because of a strange noise. It sounded like the chank of metal. He got up, struck a match and looked at the time. One o'clock. The strange noise continued, this time followed by the sound of footsteps. Mr Otis put his slippers on and opened the door. Right in front of him stood an old man. He looked terrible. Red eyes, long grey hair, old dirty clothes and handcuffs and chains on his wrists and ankles. "My dear sir," - said Mr Otis - "those chains need oiling." With these words he put small a bottle of lubricant on the table and calmly went back to bed, closing the door behind him.
P.S. Это кентервильское привидение, да? ;)
Feudalism - the concept of the "old order" (unlimited monarchy, the rule of the nobility) in the Great French Revolution of the 18th century; in Marxism - the socio-economic formation before capitalism. In modern history, feudalism took place in European Central Asia as a social system that existed in the Middle Ages, but feudalism took place in different countries at different times. Feudalism is based on the relationship between a vassal (subordinate) and a citizen and bread, a peasant and a senior landowner. Class, legal and feudal inequality is characteristic of the knightly military organization.
