When everyone is arrived.They explain why the usual guide isn’t there and introduce themselves and go to the first gallery. When Jo and Ruth have left the first gallery because the family see nothing to buy, the rich American family Lawrence wants to walk to the second gallery. So they walk, but then it starts to rain and they have to shelter. They shelter in a doorway of a shop, and suddenly, a man bumped into Mr Lawrence, then apologised and moved on. Jo recognised the man, because she had seen him from the first gallery giving something to another man. Mr Lawrence was looking in his chest for his wallet, but the man who had bumped into him, had stolen his wallet. It was a pickpocker! Jo understood what the two man had given to each other. They gave each other the stolen wallets, so if the police would catch the one who had stolen it, he wouldn’t have it any more. At the same time Mr Lawrence tried to catch his pickpocker, Jo told someone in a shop to call the police and Edward the son in the family tried to catch the man to which the pickpocker had given the wallet.
