Quotes 

• Professor Gardner Cairey : I heard the stories of the ghost long before your aunt passed over and indeed took the liberty of trespassing for several nights without seeing anything. Of course, I had a gun with me, which sometimes dissuades the supernatural.

• [examining a blurry photograph of the creature in the haunted wood] 

  Albert Campion : Any chance of catching one of these things? I'm sure all you need is a large butterfly net and formidable biceps.

  Professor Gardner Cairey : If it turns out to be what I think it is, it's much more unpleasant than any ghost.

• Albert Campion : Don't tell me, let me guess. I was about to be executed by a horse and you just happened to be passing.

  Professor Gardner Cairey : Penny told me about the gypsies, the chalice turned up in the post, Val turned up in that hedge wearing a white flower. I decided to take a cycle ride to the heath. I found your car parked not far from here. The tyres have been slashed by the way.

  Albert Campion : You can't trust anyone nowadays. I blame talking pictures.

• [examine the bloody wound on Campion's face] 

  Professor Gardner Cairey : Did she do that?

  Albert Campion : Making a point in the cut and thrust of debate.

• [a truckload of gypsies attack Daisy's henchmen] 

  Professor Gardner Cairey : Campion, I do believe this is the dirtiest fighting I've ever seen.

  Albert Campion : There are historical reasons for it. In the red corner, gypsies; in the blue corner, race gangs. They have a long history of ideological disputes.

  Professor Gardner Cairey : Your people seem to be doing rather well. Will they get away with it?

  Albert Campion : They never kill. They're more for modified disabling.

• Professor Gardner Cairey : You know what we've got here?

  Albert Campion : Apart from the stink?

  Professor Gardner Cairey : A witch!

• [last lines] 

  Albert Campion : But what did she see and why did she say those things? "No, you can't be..."

  Professor Gardner Cairey : The light was shining directly on the figure. The head was up-raised.

  Albert Campion : "No, you can't be... "... alive?

  Professor Gardner Cairey : Let me offer the thought that on the night, the visor was up. She saw the face. It may be a very shocking sight.

  Albert Campion : But did she hear a voice?

  Professor Gardner Cairey : We all hear voices from time to time. There are more things in heaven and earth, Orlando.

• [Penny opens a mysterious parcel] 

  Penny Gyrth : Val! It's the chalice!

  Val Gyrth : But who sent it?

  Professor Gardner Cairey : I could make an educated guess on that subject, but how you arrived in that field is beyond my comprehension.

  Penny Gyrth : Your buttonhole...

  Val Gyrth : That's funny, I don't remember that, either. I never put flowers in my buttonhole.

  Professor Gardner Cairey : Would I be right in supposing that's a...

  Penny Gyrth : Yes, you would be right. It's called a white campion.
