[The Marble Faun takes up this descrip- tion of the church and of the dead monk, which we really saw, just as recounted, even to the sudden stream of blood which flowed from the nostrils, as we looked at him. — S. H.] We next went to the Trinita di Monti, which stands at the head of the steps, leading, in sev- eral flights, from the Piazza di Spagna. It is now connected with a convent of French nuns, and when we rang at a side door, one of the sisterhood answered the summons, and admitted us in...to the church. This, like that of the Ca- puchins, had a vaulted roof over the nave, and no side-aisles, but rows of chapels instead. Un- like the Capuchins', which was filthy, and really disgraceful to behold, this church was most exquisitely neat, as women alone would have thought it worth while to keep it. It is not a very splendid church, not rich in gorgeous mar- bles, but pleasant to be in, if it were only for the sake of its godly purity. There was only one person in the nave ; a young girl, who sat perfectly still, with her face towards the altar, as long as we stayed.
