text_original: Our boarding house was on Walnut street, one block west of the theatre, and looked toward the river. On the opposite side of the street stood a two story brick house, always closed except when a negress opened and dusted the rooms. I never saw sadness or sorrow un  til I saw that face; and it did not appear except about her work, or when she emerged from a side gate to call in two mulatto children, who sometimes came out on the pavement.
