tells it to us, It was in the good old days in the
Nlerrie England of stage -coaches and pantaloons and

Day. Scrooge was an old nian—a grasping, covctous, mean old
sinner, Tito cold in his heart fro7v his old face, nipped his pointed
nose, shriveled his check, stiffened lik %&alk, inade his ey(,s red, his
thin lips blue; the heaviest rain and stiow and hall and sle(t were
better than be, for they often "t-ilme (loixtill handsonit Ivan(] Scrooge
