From The Arthur Conan Doyle Encyclopedia
Fictional character.
In the Sherlock Holmes stories
- Miss Susan Cushing, a maiden lady of fifty (CARD 75), a very placid and respectable lady (CARD 299), was living at Cross Street, Croydon (CARD 70).
- She had two sisters : Sarah Cushing and Mary Cushing (CARD 207).
- She received a small packet, wrapped in brown paper (CARD 71), and was horrified to find two human ears inside (CARD 73).
- She had once taken in lodgers — three noisy young medical students — but evicted them (CARD 76), which is why the police initially suspect the parcel might be a gruesome "practical joke" from them (CARD 148).
