Part one - spectre versus rector The rector lived in Hampshire The spectre was from Chorazina In evil dust in the air The rector locked his doors
Part two - detective drives through Hampshire Stops because of the fog there And thinks a visit to the rector And meanwhile, and meanwhile
Spectre possesses rector Rector becomes spectre Sludge hai choi choi choi son Sludge hai choi choi choi son Enter inspector Even as he spoke a dust-devil suddenly arose and struck him
Part four - detective versus rector Detective versus rector possessed by spectre Spectre blows him against the wall Says "Die wretch, this is your fall" "I've waited since Caesar for this" "Damn Latin my hate is crisp" "I'll rip your fat body to pieces""

Scene five, scene five Comes a hero, soul possessed a thousand times Only he could rescue rector Only he could save inspector And this hero was a strange man "Those flowers, take them away," he said,"they're only funeral decorations" "And oh this is a drudge nation" "A nation of no imagination" "A stupid man is their ideal" "They shun me and think me unclean, unclean"
"I have saved a thousand souls" "They cannot even save their own" "I'm soaked in blood but always good" "It's like I drunk myself sober" "I get better as I get older""

Part six That was his kick from life That's how he pads out his life Selling his soul to the devil And the spectre enters hero But the possession is ineffectual But the possession is ineffectual And the possession is ineffectual

Last scene Hero and inspector walk from the scene Is the spectre banished forever? The inspector is half insane The hero runs back into the mountains The hero goes back into the mountains He was an exorcist but he was exhausted An exorcist but he was exhausted The rector is dead on the floor
