A christmas carol quotes

• 'a solitary child, neglected by his friends'
• 'he had been so much accustomed to see sad objects and hear sorrowful stories that they did not affect him as they would have done any other child'
• To raise the ghost of an idea
• He was a tight fisted hand at the grindstone...squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sin.
• It was a strange figure - like a child: yet not so like a child as like an old man, viewed through some supernatural medium, which gave him the appearance of having receded from the view, and being diminished to a child's proportions.'
• Hard and sharp as a flint...secret, and self-contained...solitary as an oyster
• Scrooges pointed nose, shrivelled cheek, his thin lips blue.
• A frosty rime.
• He carried his own low temperature always about with him.
• It was the very thing he liked. To edge his way along the crowed paths of life, warning all human sympathy to keep it's distance...
• Fog cane pouring in at every chink
• His clerk, in a dismal little cell beyond a sort of tank.
• Bob tried to warm himself at the candle in which effort not being a man of a strong imagination he failed
• This nephew of scrooges that be was all in a glow, his face was ruddy and handsome, his eyes sparkled and his breath smoked
• ...open their shut-up hearts freely and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave.
• At the ominous word liberality scrooge frowned
• Bob had but fifteen ‘bob’ a week himself; he pocketed on Sundays but fifteen copies of his Christian name
• Mrs Cratchit, dressed out but poorly in a twice-turned gown, but brave in ribbons
• Tiny Tim, he bore a little crutch, and had his limbs supported by an iron frame.

• Mrs Cratchit, dressed out but poorly in a twice-turned gown, but brave in ribbons
