Everybody
else
said
the
same
,
and
they
must
be
allowed
to
have
been
competent
judges
,
because
they
had
just
had
dinner
;
and
,
with
the
dessert
upon
the
table
,
were
clustered
round
the
fire
,
by
lamplight
.
'
Well
,
I
'm
very
glad
to
hear
it
,
'
said
Scrooge
's
nephew
,
'
because
I
have
n't
great
faith
in
these
young
housekeepers
.
What
do
you
say
,
Topper
?
'
Topper
had
clearly
got
his
eye
upon
one
of
Scrooge
's
niece
's
sisters
,
for
he
answered
that
a
bachelor
was
a
wretched
outcast
,
who
had
no
right
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
subject
.
Whereat
Scrooge
's
niece
's
sister
--
the
plump
one
with
the
lace
tucker
:
not
the
one
with
the
roses
--
blushed
.
'
Do
go
on
,
Fred
,
'
said
Scrooge
's
niece
,
clapping
her
hands
.
'
He
never
finishes
what
he
begins
to
say
.
He
is
such
a
ridiculous
fellow
!
'
Scrooge
's
nephew
revelled
in
another
laugh
,
and
as
it
was
impossible
to
keep
the
infection
off
;
though
the
plump
sister
tried
hard
to
do
it
with
aromatic
vinegar
;
his
example
was
unanimously
followed
.
'
I
was
only
going
to
say
,
'
said
Scrooge
's
nephew
,
'
that
the
consequence
of
his
taking
a
dislike
to
us
,
and
not
making
merry
with
us
,
is
,
as
I
think
,
that
he
loses
some
pleasant
moments
,
which
could
do
him
no
harm
.
I
am
sure
he
loses
pleasanter
companions
than
he
can
find
in
his
own
thoughts
,
either
in
his
mouldy
old
office
,
or
his
dusty
chambers
.
I
mean
to
give
him
the
same
chance
every
year
,
whether
he
likes
it
or
not
,
for
I
pity
him
.
He
may
rail
at
Christmas
till
he
dies
,
but
he
ca
n't
help
thinking
better
of
it
--
I
defy
him
--
if
he
finds
me
going
there
,
in
good
temper
,
year
after
year
,
and
saying
Uncle
Scrooge
,
how
are
you
.
If
it
only
puts
him
in
the
vein
to
leave
his
poor
clerk
fifty
pounds
,
that
's
something
;
and
I
think
I
shook
him
yesterday
.
'
It
was
their
turn
to
laugh
now
at
the
notion
of
his
shaking
Scrooge
.
But
being
thoroughly
good-natured
,
and
not
much
caring
what
they
laughed
at
,
so
that
they
laughed
at
any
rate
,
he
encouraged
them
in
their
merriment
,
and
passed
the
bottle
joyously
.
After
tea
,
they
had
some
music
.
For
they
were
a
musical
family
,
and
knew
what
they
were
about
,
when
they
sung
a
Glee
or
Catch
,
I
can
assure
you
:
especially
Topper
,
who
could
growl
away
in
the
bass
like
a
good
one
,
and
never
swell
the
large
veins
in
his
forehead
,
or
get
red
in
the
face
over
it
.
Scrooge
's
niece
played
well
upon
the
harp
;
and
played
among
other
tunes
a
simple
little
air
(
a
mere
nothing
:
you
might
learn
to
whistle
it
in
two
minutes
)
,
which
had
been
familiar
to
the
child
who
fetched
Scrooge
from
the
boarding-school
,
as
he
had
been
reminded
by
the
Ghost
of
Christmas
Past
.
When
this
strain
of
music
sounded
,
all
the
things
that
Ghost
had
shown
him
,
came
upon
his
mind
;
he
softened
more
and
more
;
and
thought
that
if
he
could
have
listened
to
it
often
,
years
ago
,
he
might
have
cultivated
the
kindnesses
of
life
for
his
own
happiness
with
his
own
hands
,
without
resorting
to
the
sexton
's
spade
that
buried
Jacob
Marley
.
But
they
did
n't
devote
the
whole
evening
to
music
.
