Just to cloud the issue further, I guess. The other interesting thing is the
beginning note to the Index, which says that the "*capital letters G, K, S
(which see) stand for the three main characters in this work.*" If these
three are "characters" only it certainly begs the question of authorship,
even if only in a Pirandello-esque sense.

But the different uses of the italicised and unitalicised "K" initials in
the Index wasn't something I'd noticed before.
