“Sir Robert.” Holmes stood looking out, white-faced. “Perhaps you should not have interred your sister in that particular sarcophagus.”

“How dare you disturb her rest!”

I intercepted Norbertson at the doorway – and all three of us witnessed a spindly wraith rising from John Mason’s corpse, blood staining her mouth and shroud. “Oh, brother, dear!” it trilled.

Holmes and I fled.

Hee hee. I'm seeing Rathbone and Bruce and The Case of the Zombie Sister!

For a portly Watson, Bruce can run like crazy when he has to.

I can't say I feel much sympathy for Norbertson.

Mention "the Jews" One. More. Time. you anti-Semitic bastard, and I sic the Ark of the Covenant on you!

For a moment I thought you were heading in the direction of The Fall of the House of Usher - "We have put her living in the tomb!" ^_^

I do so love your warning - that's a genre I can really get behind ^__^ But in all seriousness, it's rather an inspired twist on the story.

Oh I'm sure Roderick Usher and Robert Norbertson could have a nice chat in the asylum if either had survived.

Run fast, run far.
