A tidy front room for stitching and splints with a cool, shuttered back parlour for the dead. The doctor keeps carbolic, ether, and clean bandages on hand; charges posted by the door; no questions for emergency cases. She boils instruments twice, keeps a quarantine kit ready for travellers, and files fit-to-ride notes for the sheriff. The undertaker side handles washing, shrouds, simple coffins, and embalming when needed; chapel services are coordinated on request. After-hours bell on the porch; blood and trouble stay outside.
