Not
to
know
that
any
Christian
spirit
working
kindly
in
its
little
sphere
,
whatever
it
may
be
,
will
find
its
mortal
life
too
short
for
its
vast
means
of
usefulness
.
Not
to
know
that
no
space
of
regret
can
make
amends
for
one
life
's
opportunity
misused
!
Yet
such
was
I
!
Oh
!
such
was
I
!
'
'
But
you
were
always
a
good
man
of
business
,
Jacob
,
'
faltered
Scrooge
,
who
now
began
to
apply
this
to
himself
.
'
Business
!
'
cried
the
Ghost
,
wringing
its
hands
again
.
'
Mankind
was
my
business
.
The
common
welfare
was
my
business
;
charity
,
mercy
,
forbearance
,
and
benevolence
,
were
,
all
,
my
business
.
The
dealings
of
my
trade
were
but
a
drop
of
water
in
the
comprehensive
ocean
of
my
business
!
'
It
held
up
its
chain
at
arm
's
length
,
as
if
that
were
the
cause
of
all
its
unavailing
grief
,
and
flung
it
heavily
upon
the
ground
again
.
'
At
this
time
of
the
rolling
year
,
'
the
spectre
said
'
I
suffer
most
.
Why
did
I
walk
through
crowds
of
fellow-beings
with
my
eyes
turned
down
,
and
never
raise
them
to
that
blessed
Star
which
led
the
Wise
Men
to
a
poor
abode
!
Were
there
no
poor
homes
to
which
its
light
would
have
conducted
me
!
'
Scrooge
was
very
much
dismayed
to
hear
the
spectre
going
on
at
this
rate
,
and
began
to
quake
exceedingly
.
'
Hear
me
!
'
cried
the
Ghost
.
'
My
time
is
nearly
gone
.
'
'
I
will
,
'
said
Scrooge
.
'
But
do
n't
be
hard
upon
me
!
Do
n't
be
flowery
,
Jacob
!
Pray
!
'
'
How
it
is
that
I
appear
before
you
in
a
shape
that
you
can
see
,
I
may
not
tell
.
I
have
sat
invisible
beside
you
many
and
many
a
day
.
'
It
was
not
an
agreeable
idea
.
