Which
it
certainly
was
.
Admiration
was
the
universal
sentiment
,
though
some
objected
that
the
reply
to
'
Is
it
a
bear
?
'
ought
to
have
been
'
Yes
;
'
inasmuch
as
an
answer
in
the
negative
was
sufficient
to
have
diverted
their
thoughts
from
Mr
Scrooge
,
supposing
they
had
ever
had
any
tendency
that
way
.
'
He
has
given
us
plenty
of
merriment
,
I
am
sure
,
'
said
Fred
,
'
and
it
would
be
ungrateful
not
to
drink
his
health
.
Here
is
a
glass
of
mulled
wine
ready
to
our
hand
at
the
moment
;
and
I
say
,
"
Uncle
Scrooge
!
"
'
'
Well
!
Uncle
Scrooge
!
'
they
cried
.
'
A
Merry
Christmas
and
a
Happy
New
Year
to
the
old
man
,
whatever
he
is
.
'
said
Scrooge
's
nephew
.
'
He
would
n't
take
it
from
me
,
but
may
he
have
it
,
nevertheless
.
Uncle
Scrooge
.
'
Uncle
Scrooge
had
imperceptibly
become
so
gay
and
light
of
heart
,
that
he
would
have
pledged
the
unconscious
company
in
return
,
and
thanked
them
in
an
inaudible
speech
,
if
the
Ghost
had
given
him
time
.
But
the
whole
scene
passed
off
in
the
breath
of
the
last
word
spoken
by
his
nephew
;
and
he
and
the
Spirit
were
again
upon
their
travels
.
Much
they
saw
,
and
far
they
went
,
and
many
homes
they
visited
,
but
always
with
a
happy
end
.
The
Spirit
stood
beside
sick
beds
,
and
they
were
cheerful
;
on
foreign
lands
,
and
they
were
close
at
home
;
by
struggling
men
,
and
they
were
patient
in
their
greater
hope
;
by
poverty
,
and
it
was
rich
.
In
almshouse
,
hospital
,
and
jail
,
in
misery
's
every
refuge
,
where
vain
man
in
his
little
brief
authority
had
not
made
fast
the
door
and
barred
the
Spirit
out
,
he
left
his
blessing
,
and
taught
Scrooge
his
precepts
.
It
was
a
long
night
,
if
it
were
only
a
night
;
but
Scrooge
had
his
doubts
of
this
,
because
the
Christmas
Holidays
appeared
to
be
condensed
into
the
space
of
time
they
passed
together
.
It
was
strange
,
too
,
that
while
Scrooge
remained
unaltered
in
his
outward
form
,
the
Ghost
grew
older
,
clearly
older
.
Scrooge
had
observed
this
change
,
but
never
spoke
of
it
,
until
they
left
a
children
's
Twelfth
Night
party
,
when
,
looking
at
the
Spirit
as
they
stood
together
in
an
open
place
,
he
noticed
that
its
hair
was
grey
.
'
Are
spirits
'
lives
so
short
?
'
asked
Scrooge
.
'
My
life
upon
this
globe
is
very
brief
,
'
replied
the
Ghost
.
'
It
ends
to-night
.
'
