GHOST OF CHRISTMAS YET TO COME
BOB CRATCHIT
FRED
"Dismal little cell"
"It was shrouded in a deep black garment."
"I fear you more than any Spectre I have seen."
"The Spirit, stronger yet, repulsed him."
GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST
"I have always thought of Christmas as a good time, a kind,
forgiving, charitable, pleasant time"
"in what Bob Cratchit called a circle, meaning half a
one"
"My little, little child!" cried Bob. "My little child!"
"Though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my
pocket, I believe it has done me good"
JACOB MARLEY
GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT
“I wear the chain I forged in life”
“It’s dark brown curls were long and free; free as its genial
face, its sparkling eye, its open hand, its cheery voice, its
unconstrained demeanour, and its joyful air.”
"Crown of its head there sprung a bright clear jet of light"
“Would you so soon put out… the light I give?”
The chain he drew was clasped about his middle [..] it was
made (for Scrooge observed it closely) of cash-boxes, keys,
padlocks, ledgers, deeds, and heavy purses wrought in
steel.”
It put out its strong hand as it spoke, and clasped him gently
by the arm. "Rise! and walk with me!"
"Most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written
which is Doom, unless the writing be erased."
