Transcript	92 VENICE. against the walls, and the trappings of woe very soon removed with the other properties until the next show. We hope that we are not uncharitable, but we must say from observation during the many days we have been at work in St. Mark's, that of all the Roman Catholic cities we have ever visited, Venice is, to our thinking, the most superstitious. Having taken up our position near to the entrance door, we have not failed to observe the kissing of idols and the sprinkling of holy water. A fellow goes down on his knees, says his prayers, we suppose, and steals our umbrella under our nose. We are not the only victim. Innocent strangers, who may have placed a hat or shawl on a seat, find themselves relieved by these pious thieves, who remove it for fear there might be some dishonest people about, but occasionally are caught, there being a special policeman to look after them; but the numerous ways of exit give a great chance of escape.
