Victorian Mansion

It is very late tonight and I have been going all day. so when I got home tonight I decided this would be a good night to share another one of my son Robert's paintings.
Checking my e mail I saw the right words to go with this picture.
with my apologies here it is:

Bob Hill and his new wife, Betty, are vacationing in Europe,
near Transylvania . They drive in a rental car along a rather
deserted highway. It is late, raining very hard and Bob can barely see
the road in front of the car. Suddenly, the car skids
out of control. Bob attempts to control it,
but to no avail. The car swerves and smashes into a tree..

Moments later, Bob shakes his head to clear the fog. Dazed, he looks
over at the passenger seat and sees Betty unconscious, with her
head bleeding. Despite the rain and unfamiliar countryside,
Bob knows he has to get her medical assistance. He carefully picks her
up and begins trudging down the road. After a short while,
he sees a light and heads towards it, which is coming
from a large, old house. He approaches the door and knocks.
A small, hunched man opens the door.

Bob blurts, "Hello, my name is Bob Hill and this is my wife Betty.
We've been in a terrible accident, and my wife has been
Seriously hurt. Can I please use your phone?"

"I'm sorry," replies the hunchback, "but we don't have a phone.
My master is a doctor. Come in, and I will get him."
Bob brings his wife in.


An older man comes down the stairs. "I'm afraid my assistant may
have misled you. I am not a medical doctor; I am a scientist.
However, it is many miles to the nearest clinic, and I have
had some basic medical training. I will see what I can do.
Igor, bring them down to the laboratory."

With that, Igor picks up Betty and carries her downstairs,
with Bob following closely. Igor places Betty on a table in
the lab. Bob collapses from exhaustion and his own injuries,
so Igor places Bob on an adjoining table.

After a brief examination, Igor's master looks worried.
"Things are serious, Igor. Prepare a transfusion."
Igor and his master work feverishly, but to no avail.
Bob and Betty Hill are no more.


The Hills' deaths upsets Igor's master greatly.
Wearily, he climbs the steps to his conservatory,
which houses his grand piano. It is here that he
has always found solace and he begins to play.
A stirring, almost haunting melody fills the house.


Meanwhile, Igor is still in the lab tidying up.
His eyes catch movement, and he notices the fingers
on Betty's hand twitch, keeping time to the haunting
piano music. Stunned, he watches as Bob's arm begins
to rise, marking the beat. He is further amazed as
Betty and Bob both sit up straight!


Unable to contain himself, he dashes up the stairs
to the conservatory. He bursts in and shouts to his master:

"Master, Master!
The Hills are alive with the sound of music!"
