'The first are satisfied I am quite well, every breathing inconvenience gone: and as for the latter, I got through whatever had given me trouble in London. . . . But it was winter, even in Venice, and one day began with an actual fog. He insisted, notwithstanding, on taking his usual walk on the Lido.
The Lido is not beautiful; but Venice seen from it is beautiful, and it has trees and picnic grounds, and its usefulness is not to be exaggerated. The steamers, which ply continually in summer and very often in winter, take only a quarter of an hour to make the voyage. In the height of the bathing season the Lido becomes German territory, and the chromatic pages of Lustige Blätter are justified.
"Yes," said another; "but he desarves credit for travelin' from Clansallagh to Findramore, widout layin' a foot to the ground "'Wan day wid Captain Whiskey I wrastled a fall, But faith I was no match for the captain at all But faith I was no match for the captain at all, Though the landlady's measures they were damnable small.

Suffice it to say that, very early on the following morning, there might have been seen, pacing up and down the shore on the seaward side of the Lido, and peering anxiously about him through an eyeglass, as if in search of somebody or something, the figure of a tall, spare Englishman, clad in a complete suit of shepherd's tartan, with a wide-awake on his head, a leather bag slung by a strap across his shoulder, and a light coat over his arm.

Susy pleaded in vain with her husband in defence of his privacy.
The war was now at its height about the Danube; England and France had declared war on Russia, all the Slavonic countries were roused and were preparing for an uprising. The gondola put in to the inner shore of the Lido. They walked along the beach.
And other excursions took us to Chioggia, the canals there alive with fishing boats and the banks with fishermen mending their nets; and to Murano, busy and beautiful both, with the throb of its glass furnaces and the peace of the fields where the dead sleep; and again and again to the Lido where green meadows were sprinkled with daisies and birds were singing.
"And this thou didst not hesitate to proclaim among the fishermen and idlers of the Lido?" "Eccellenza, it was not needed my fellows knew my unhappiness, and tongues were not wanting to tell the worst." "There was a tumult, with thee at its head, and sedition was uttered, with much vain-boasting of what the fleet of the Lagunes could perform against the fleet of the Republic."
There is here a grove of acacia-trees, shadowy and dreamy, above deep grass, which even an Italian summer does not wither. The Riva is fairly broad, forming a promenade, where one may conjure up the personages of a century ago. For San Nicoletto used to be a fashionable resort before the other points of Lido had been occupied by pleasure-seekers.
