Note: The original, illustrated, serial publication (see the two magazine issues) begins under a three-part heading in three sizes and fonts:
The House Surgeon
A Story in Two Parts *
By Rudyard Kipling
where * refers to a footnote statement of Kipling's 1909 copyright. That suggests a longer title of the story, "A House Surgeon: A Story in Two Parts".
Synopsis: In late Victorian England, a young Englishman attempts to discover why a feeling of deep depression seems to overpower all who enter the ancient home of Holmescroft.
