Rainy and cloudy all morning but getting clear this afternoon so Mother and I went for a walk and called on Marie Barron in the gothic* house.
Mother has been restless all day.

*Gothic architecture was typically created in stone, however in the late-19th century carpenters in the US adapted to style for timber houses. The steam-powered jig saw allowed for intricate "gingerbread" type designs to be cut out of wood & applied to houses.
