a christmas carol quotes

• i wear the chains i forged in life
• solitary as an oyster
• boy is ignorance. girl is want
• neglected child, neglected gravestone
• a golden idol has displaced me
• no warmth could warm, not wintry weather chill him
• filled with phantoms
• marely was dead: to begin with
• like a child... like an old man
• i will not shut out the lessons that they teach!
• where angels might have sat enthroned, devils lurked
• his clerk in a dismal little cell
• light as a feather, happy as an angel, merry as a school boy
• i'm quite a baby. never mind. i don't care. i'd rather be a baby
• i want nothing from you. i ask nothing of you. why can't we be friends?
• a solitary child. neglected by his friends
• to tiny tim who did not die he was a second father
• as good as a friend, a master, a man
• marely was dead; to begin with
• glowing with good intentions
• i am about to raise your salary
• charity, mercy, forbearance & benevolence were all my business.
• trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean
• not a handsome family ; but they were happy
• scrooge had his eye upon them, & especially on tiny tim, until the last
• tunic of the purest white, branch of fresh green holly
• lonely boy was reading near a feeble fire
