P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 455
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
Meanwhile, I was by no means idle. Cordelia Howard as “Little Eva,” with her mother as the inimitable “Topsy,” were highly successful in London and other large cities, while General Tom Thumb, returning after so long an absence, drew crowded houses wherever he went. These were strong spokes in the wheel that was moving slowly but surely in the effort to get me out of debt, and, if possible, to save some portion of my real estate. Of course, it was not generally known that I had any interest whatever in either of these exhibitions; if it had been, possibly some of the clock creditors would have annoyed me; but I busied myself in these and in other ways, working industriously and making much money, which I constantly remitted to my trusty agent at home.

白话
巴纳姆在还债期间并未闲着。他暗中支持科迪莉亚·霍华德饰演“小伊娃”、她母亲饰演“托普西”在伦敦等地成功演出，同时“拇指将军”回归后也吸引大量观众。这些演出成为他还债和保住部分房产的重要财源。但公众不知道他与这些展览有关，否则债主可能找麻烦。他努力工作赚钱，并不断把钱汇给家乡可靠的代理人。这体现了他低调务实、多线并进的还债策略：不张扬，但持续行动。
上下文
巴纳姆破产后，通过投资或管理多个演出项目赚钱还债，但保持低调以免债主干扰。
