Christmas carol
Stave 1.
marley
"Mankind was my business"
"The narrow limits of our money-changing hole"
"I made it link by link, yard by yard: I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it"
"chilling influence of its death-cold eyes"
*
"Old Marley was as dead as doornail"
"of cash-boxes, keys, padlocks, ledgers, deeds and heavy purses wrought of steel"
"I cannot rest, I cannot stay, I cannot linger anywhere"
"not to know the ages of incessant labour, by immortal creatures
"
"Marley was dead: to begin with." - The Narrator.
Fred.
"Because I fell in love."
"fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys." - Fred talking about the differences in people during Christmas time, compared to the rest of each year.
"I am sorry, with all my heart, to find you so resolute. We have never had any quarrel, to which I have been a party.
But I have made the trial in homage to Christmas, and I'll keep my Christmas humour to the last. So A merry Christmas, uncle!"
"I want nothing from you; I ask nothing of you; why cannot we be friends?"
"And therefore, uncle, though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has done me good, and will do me good; and I say, God bless it!"
"they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."
"If they would rather die,"" said Scrooge, .
"And the Union workhouses?"
"Are they still in operation?"
"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!"
"Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire".
"Are there no prisons?"
"What reason have you to be merry? You're poor enough."
"I can't afford to make idle people merry. I help to support the establishments I have mentioned---they cost enough; and those who are badly off must go there."- (after the first full-stop) talking about the union workhouses (real places in Victorian England)
"Humbug!"
"secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster. The cold within him froze his old features," - link's to his past self.
Scrooge has four Christmas visitors: his nephew, Fred; two charity collectors; and a carol singer. Scrooge is rude to all of them and sends them away. ... He tells Scrooge that his mean way of life will lead to misery and that three Ghosts will visit him to show him the error of his ways.
Scrooge's Quotations.
stave 5
"I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future."
"A great many back-payments are included in it, I assure you."
"He was at home in five minutes."
"That is my name, and I fear it may not be pleasant to you. Allow me to ask your pardon. And will you have the goodness"
"buy another coal-scuttle before you dot another i, Bob Cratchit!"
"and to Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, he was a second father. He became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew, or any other good old city, town, or borough, in the good old world."
"laughing and crying in the same breath".
"and therefore I am about to raise your salary!"
"I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel, I am as merry as a schoolboy. I am as giddy as a drunken man."
