Question

What happened on the first evening?how did the ghost try to warn off colonel fazackerleu

Answer 1

This poem is about the interaction of Colonel with a ghost, the ghost in this poem tries to scare Colonel but when the Colonel sees him he asks him if he is going to a fancy dress show, that infuriates the ghost because his purpose was to scare him but he fails miserably. That makes him angrier and he moans in protest and finally disappears, but this makes no difference to Colonel and he thinks to himself that he didn't even ask ghost his name and he cannot call him back.
