Cloudy ― & rain early.

2X

Woke at 6. But the weather evidently will not do for Paleocastrizza.

Increasing cloud all day, & a little rain.

Mrs. Boyd, Mr. & Mrs. Mussouri, & one or two more, came.

Worked somewhat at Mt. Athos ― & ‘showed’ the large Corfu.

Made ready to go tomorrow, if the weather suits ― but now, at 5 P.M. it is all mist & cloud, yet no rain comes. Τὶ νὰ Κάμομεν;1

At 6 ― horrible thick gloom! ― walked out, but it rained a little & I returned at 7.15.

Exactly like very oppressive November weather.

Dined. & penned out till 10.30.

Gloomy days.

Happily, the Maudes are out; so, quiet.
