The Canterville Ghost (abstract 2) And so Mr. Hiram B. Otis bought the house, and a few weeks later he and his family went down to Canterville Chase on the train. Mrs. Otis was a very beautiful woman and looked just as an Englishwoman. American people are really no different from English people – but they do, of course, speak a different language. Her eldest son, Washington, was a good-looking young man with a wonderful smile, who was famous at all the London parties for his fine dancing. Miss Virginia E. Otis was a sweet little girl of fifteen with big blue eyes. She loved to ride horses and could ride faster than a lot of men. One day the young Duke of Cheshire saw her on horseback, and immediately asked her to marry him – but his family sent him back to school the next day. After Virginia came the twins – two happy noisy little boys, who were always laughing and playing tricks. It was a lovely July evening when the family got off the train. The fields and trees looked beautiful in the golden sunshine. The birds were singing sweetly and the sky was bright blue. But when they arrived at Canterville Chase, storm clouds suddenly appeared in the sky. Then ten or twelve large black birds flew down over their heads, and big drops of rain began to fall. An old woman in a black dress was standing in the doorway of the house, waiting to meet them. This was Mrs. Umney, the housekeeper. “Welcome to Canterville Chase,” she said. They followed her into the library – a long dark room with a large window at one end. Here, tea was ready for them, so they took off their coats and sat down. Suddenly Mrs. Otis saw a dark red stain on the floor, near the fireplace. “Is that a stain on the floor?” She asked. “Yes, Mrs. Otis,” said Mrs. Umney quietly. “It’s a bloodstain.”

it has already been explained that an ester is the product formed by the reversible reaction between an acid and alcohol. if an acid and an alcohol are mixed, a condition of equilibrium will eventually be set up when the rates of the direct reaction (etherification) and the reverse reaction (hydrolysis) are equal. it follows from the law of mass action that an increase in the molecular concentration of anyone of the reacting substances will displace the equilibrium in the opposite direction. any excess of water will diminish the proportion of ester present at equilibrium. consequently, in the preparation of esters, it is necessary as a rule to use the anhydrous acid and alcohol in order to obtain good yields, and the reaction is usually carried out in the presence of an acid catalyst (concentrated sulfuric acid or dry hydrogen chloride). an ester may be almost completely hydrolyzed if it is heated with water, provided that a large enough proportion of water is used. the hydrolysis is usually slow, but is catalyzed by acids. it becomes complete if a dilute solution of an alkali is used instead of water, for the acid produced by hydrolysis is neutralized by the alkali as fast as it is formed, and so can take no further part in the reaction. most esters of organic acids are pleasant-smelling, volatile liquids and many of them are used in perfumery and in the production of artificial flavoring agents. ethyl acetate is a typical example of an ester of an organic acid. it is formed when acetyl chloride or acetic anhydride acts on ethyl alcohol. ethyl acetate is prepared by the interaction of alcohol and glacial acid, in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid.
