Can you summarize the short story, 'The Canterville Ghost?'

The Otis twins play jokes on the ghost. He is beside himself, but the young girl in the family, Virginia, sympathizes with him. She and the ghost talk, and he tells her he wants to die, but needs a pure young girl to help him do it, as he is too stained by his sins to enter a final rest. She stands by him, and he is able to free himself from a life haunting the earth. At the end, Virginia is sad the ghost has died, a death symbolized by an almond tree, but also glad he is at peace.

The story plays on tensions between old English families and New Money Americans flooding into England in the late 19th century. Also, beneath its comic facade, it shows the pathos of the tortured ghost, perhaps an image of Wilde's sense of guilt and otherness over his homosexuality.
