“Con todo, Lord Arthur no era feliz. Todos los días leía minuciosamente la lista de defunciones del Times, esperando la noticia del fallecimiento de Lady Clementina; y todos los días sufría la misma decepción.”
Lord Arthur smiled, and shook his head. ‘I am not afraid,’ he answered. ‘Sybil knows me as well as I know her.’Unfortunately, Podgers (on the hush) predicts an ominous future for Lord Arthur: he's going to murder a distant relative. Arthur decides to take fate by the hands and commit the murder sooner rather than later, so he can wash his hands of it and marry his sweet, beautiful fiancee without this burden on his soul. <--- This totally didn't make sense to me but you just have to roll with it.
‘Ah! I am a little sorry to hear you say that. The proper basis for marriage is a mutual misunderstanding. No, I am not at all cynical, I have merely got experience, which, however, is very much the same thing.'

Canterville Hortlağı bir an, kendini doğal olarak hakarete uğramış hissetti ve olduğu yerde kalakaldı; sonra şişeyi olanca şiddetiyle cilalı zemine fırlattı, boğuk iniltiler çıkararak ve iğrenç yeşil bir ışık saçarak koridorun aşağısına doğru kaçtı. Ne var ki, tam büyük, meşe merdiven sahanlığına vardığında, bir kapı ardına kadar açıldı, beyaz elbiseli iki küçük suret belirdi ve hortlağın başının yanından büyük bir yastık uçarak geçti!
