‘these jewels belong to your family. I must ask you to take them to London with you. Virginia asks for only one thing
— the box in which they were kept. Can she have it?’‘My dear sir,’ said Lord Canterville, ‘your lovely little daughter has been a good friend to one of my family — Sir Simon — and we’ll always be grateful to her for that. She was wonderfully brave. Now, you remember that you bought the furniture and the ghost. The ghost’s jewels are now yours.They are clearly your daughter’s, and she must keep them.When she’s a woman, she’ll be pleased to have pretty things to wear. And if I dared to try and take the jewels, awful old Sir Simon would probably be back very quickly, giving me a terrible time!’So Virginia kept the jewels, and she wore them in the spring of 1890 when she married the young Duke of Cheshire.
