'What is thatt? said Kim, for 'front' and 'entrain' were newish words to him. 'We are going to "thee War," as you called it. 'Of course you are going to thee War. I said last night.
The first house after the Accademia is negligible newish and dull with an enclosed garden; the next is the Querini; the next the dull Mocenigo Gambara; and then we come to the solid Bloomsbury-blackened stone Palazzo Contarini degli Scrigni and its neighbours of the same ownership.
They lighted the fire and put the kettle on, and they arranged the crockery for breakfast; they could not find all the right things, but a glass ash-tray made an excellent salt-cellar, and a newish baking-tin seemed as if it would do to put bread on, if they had any.

After the Michiel dalle Colonne is a little newish house and the Gothic Palazzo Michiel da Brus
If I had gone to the right instead of the left that first evening with Archie, I should have circumnavigated the place without any trouble.
