Là-bas, j'ai trouvé une ligne de petits restaurants et des magasins si lugubres et si fatigués qu'ils avaient l'air d'être là-bas avant la journée Kirbys.

There Ifound a line of small eating-houses and shopsso dismal and so time-worn as to look asthough they had surely been there beforeKirbys day. But there was no sign of theChatham Theatre. And then I rememberedthat it had only held its name for a shorttime after it was opened, in 1839, and wasthen renamed Purdys National. It was atthis house that Uncle Toms Cabin wasfirst produced in the city, in 1852, when itran for more than a hundred nights—a mostunusual record in those days.
