Now, in spite of the filth of its dark alleys, it is comparatively healthy and wholesome. In Venice, too, I note a great change for the bet- ter in the course of the last three decades, and all this improvement holds out good promise for the future.
The petty impositions practised upon the stranger are even harder for him to bear than the dirt and squalor which he sees in many places. He can step around the filth, and he can shut his eyes to a good deal of it, if he is fastidious, but he cannot... avoid the small pilferings which rob him of a soldo here and a lira there.
For instance, he must often make a very hard and fast bargain with his landlord about every possible item of expenditure, or he will find, when H2 OUR ITALIAN FELLOW CITIZENS his bill is presented, that there are several un- accountable charges, which mine host glibly ex- plains, but which the traveller feels certain are impositions.
He is also pretty sure to have bad money passed upon him. Unless he keeps a very sharp outlook for spurious coins, or for those that are out of date, he will find, when he comes to pay his next bill, that he has on hand a collection of Argentine, Spanish or Greek soldi, or of lire that were coined before 1863, and which will not be taken, or perhaps that his silver coins are of pewter instead of the pure metal.
