Scrooge's experience with the Ghost of Christmas Past
1. Wakes up to find it is still dark
2. Hears a clock chime, realises it is midnight the following night
3. Relieved that day and night are still separate
4. Waits in suspense, relieved no specter has come
5. A small hand draws back his bed-curtains, the first spirit appears
6. The spirit is a small figure that looks both childlike and old
7. The spirit has light streaming from its head but holds a candle-snuffer
8. The spirit tells Scrooge it is the Ghost of Christmas Past
9. Scrooge feels uncomfortable in the ghost's light and wants it to leave
10. The ghost tells Scrooge it has come for his welfare
11. Scrooge replies a good night's sleep would be better
12. The spirit says it has come for "your reclamation, then"
13. The Ghost takes Scrooge's hand and they pass through the wall, flying away from London
14. They find themselves on a country road near Scrooge's old school
15. Scrooge sees his old school-fellows leaving for the holidays, but can't interact with them
16. The Ghost mentions one boy remains behind, Scrooge's past self
17. Scrooge weeps seeing his lonely younger self
18. The Ghost leads Scrooge to the school, they see his past self reading
19. Scrooge weeps again seeing his lonely younger self
20. But then sees apparitions of characters from his childhood reading
21. Scrooge is excited to see them, but still feels pity for his former self
22. This experience makes Scrooge think of the boy who came to his business singing a carol

27. Scrooge remembers Fezziwig and the Christmas Eve party fondly

31. Scrooge is upset by this vision and begs the Ghost to take him back home
32. But the Ghost has one more vision to show him, of Belle as an older woman with a happy family
33. Scrooge realizes he could have had such a family if he had married Belle
34. Scrooge can no longer bear the visions and turns in anger on the Ghost, covering its light with the candle-snuffer
35. Back in his rooms, Scrooge gives up and goes to bed, falling asleep
