By dolfijntjes Nobody ever stopped him in the street.But what did Scrooge care? It was the very thing he liked. To edge his way along the crowded paths of life,warning all human sympathy to keep its distance, was what the knowing ones call "nuts" to Scrooge.
By Rathnid ...let any man explain to me, if he can, how it happened that Scrooge, having his key in the lock of the door, saw in the knocker, without its undergoing any intermediate process of change--not a knocker, but Marley's face. Marley's face. It was not in impenetrable shadow as the other objects in the yard were, but had a dismal light about it...
by iranim Initial reaction to a redeemed Scrooge "'I don't know what to do!' cried Scrooge, laughing and crying in the same breath; and making a perfect Laocoon of himself with his stockings. '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. A merry Christmas to everybody! A happy New Year to all the world! Hallo here! Whoop! Hallo!'"
