Oh! That sunset last evening! As we lay out in
our gondola upon the perfectly calm waters, by the Armenian convent, and
watched the sun slowly going down behind the distant towers and spires
of the 'City of the sea'--one mass of gold spreading all over the west!"
* * "Oh! Those clouds! (Another pause) Ah! That was happiness. One
such hour is worth--let me see--how many years of one's life? * * and
yet this is--"

Scene II.

He is set upon and surrounded by an English family, and the following
dialogue ensues:--

The Mamma. --"What a delightful occupation, to be sure."

Young Lady (in a whisper). --"He is copying the Tintoret."

Youthful Son and Heir (with confidence). --"No, he ain't; he's doing
that stunning big one with the rainbow, and three river gods."

Second Young Lady. --"It's sweetly pretty, isn't it!"

Papa (a British merchant, and of a practical turn). --"Very
good--v-e-r-y good. Ahem! Now I wonder what one could make a year by
that kind of thing."

Young Man (with glass in his eye). --"Slow, I should think."

At this point Brown's attention was attracted to a scuffle going on
behind him amongst the junior members of the party. Two of the little
innocents had taken a fancy to the same drawing (a copy of his favourite
John Bellino), and after a brief, but fierce struggle for possession,
had settled the difficulty by tearing it in two. (Party retires rather
precipitately.)

[TRIESTE TO VIENNA.]

SKETCH MADE BY BROWN AT TRIESTE.

NOTE.--If any one doubts the fact, Jones and Robinson are ready to make
affidavit of it.

ROBINSON SEARCHED AND INDIGNANT.

Such things never happen anywhere else.

[VIENNA.]

Arrived at Vienna, they visit the theatre. A gentleman there,
unobtrusively pays them great attention.

SCENE--SHOP, VIENNA.

Jones to Brown-- "What do you say?"

Brown (who sees that Robinson is bent upon making a "magnificent
addition" to himself, and that it is useless to expostulate). --"Oh, I
think it is splendid; and if you will only appear in it in Pall Mall,
when we get home again, you will make a sensation."

THEY VISIT THE PICTURE GALLERIES.

That man in the doorway seems to take a great interest in their
movements.

THE PROMENADE.

Brown thinks it is the same man! What can he want?

THE PUBLIC GARDEN.

There he was again! Jones suggested that perhaps it was a government
official, who took them for liberty, equality, and fraternity.
