Nay, uncle, but you never came to see me before that happened. Why give it as a reason for not coming now?’ it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the Poor and destitute, who suffer greatly at the present time.' It is required of every man,’ the Ghost returned, `that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellowmen, and travel far and wide; and if that spirit goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death. It is doomed to wander through the world -- oh, woe is me! -- and witness what it cannot share, but might have shared on earth, and turned to happiness!’

but that he was an excellent man of business on the very day of the funeral, and solemnized it with and undoubted bargain. Shows that Scrooge is economical with feelings and does not want it to get in the way of his business.
Who is Scrooge?
I wear the chain I forged in life,’ replied the Ghost. `I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it. Is its pattern strange to you? ’

It should be Christmas day, I am sure," said she, "on which one drinks the health of such a odious, stingy, hard, unfeeling man as Mr Scrooge. You know he is, Robert! Nobody knows it better than you do, poor fellow!" Scrooge took his melancholy dinner in his usual melancholy tavern; and having read all the newspapers, and beguiled the rest of the evening with his banker's book, went home to bed. He lived in chambers which had once belonged to his deceased partner. They were a gloomy suite of rooms, in a lowering pile of buildings up a yard. The building was old enough now, and dreary enough; for nobody lived in it but Scrooge, the other rooms being all let out as offices.O, a wonderful pudding I Bob Cratchit said, and calmly too, that he regarded it as the greatest success achieved by Mrs Cratchit since their marriage. Mrs Cratchit said that now the weight was off her mind, she would confess she had had her doubts about the quantity of flour. Everybody had something to say about it, but nobody said or thought it was at all a small pudding for a large family. Any Cratchit would have blushed to hint at such a thing. Whether these creatures faded into mist, or mist enshrouded them, he could not tell. But they and their spirit voices faded together; and the night became as it had been when he walked home. Use italics (lyric) and bold (lyric) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part Nor could he think of any one immediately connected with himself, to whom he could apply them This comic portrayal of Scrooge as someone who can not recognise their own death may be amusing however also server as a reminder to readers that their public reputation may not be what you think it is. It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good-humor. When Scrooge's nephew laughed, Scrooge's niece by marriage laughed as heartily as he. And their assembled friends, being not a bit behindhand, laughed out lustily.

Because you fell in love!’ growled Scrooge , as if that were the only one thing in the world more ridiculous than a merry Christmas. `Good afternoon!’ As the words were spoken, they passed through the wall, and stood in the busy thoroughfares of a city. It was made plain enough by the dressing of the shops that here, too, it was Christmas time. Bob's voice was tremulous when he told them this, and trembled more when he said that Tiny Tim was growing strong and hearty. No. Your past. The things that you will see with me are shadows of the things that have been; they will have no consciousness of us."

Without their visits,’ said the Ghost, `you cannot hope to shun the path I tread. Expect the first tomorrow, when the bell tolls One.’
