Halloween Wimseyficlet

There was a one (to five) sentence Halloween horror thread on fail_fandomanon, so I had a go.


***

Bunter stopped on the threshold and saw that his lordship was not alone in his bedroom after all, but kneeling pyjama-clad at the feet of a woman, a woman with the stench of the grave on her, a prisoner's uniform, and a noose around her neck. Beside him one of his collection of incunabula lay open in a circle of what looked like blood.

'Harriet, it worked! Will you marry me?'

His voice was filled with joy.

Now, had it been the port Peter had used, Bunter would have been upset (until I saw this your previous comment, I had been wondering if Bunter was about to do something efficient with a stake).

That's proper scary, that is

If Peter had used the port he would be lucky that a visitor from beyond the grave was available to deflect Bunter's attention. Although perhaps Bunter would take if as further evidence - were more required - that the balance of his lordship's mind was extremely disturbed.

I'm sure that Bunter would be prepared to wield a stake if staking were required.
