Scrooge
and
the
Phantom
came
into
the
presence
of
this
man
,
just
as
a
woman
with
a
heavy
bundle
slunk
into
the
shop
.
But
she
had
scarcely
entered
,
when
another
woman
,
similarly
laden
,
came
in
too
;
and
she
was
closely
followed
by
a
man
in
faded
black
,
who
was
no
less
startled
by
the
sight
of
them
,
than
they
had
been
upon
the
recognition
of
each
other
.
After
a
short
period
of
blank
astonishment
,
in
which
the
old
man
with
the
pipe
had
joined
them
,
they
all
three
burst
into
a
laugh
.
572
'
Let
the
charwoman
alone
to
be
the
first
!
'
cried
she
who
had
entered
first
.
'
Let
the
laundress
alone
to
be
the
second
;
and
let
the
undertaker
's
man
alone
to
be
the
third
!
Look
here
,
old
Joe
,
here
's
a
chance
.
If
we
have
n't
all
three
met
here
without
meaning
it
.
'
573
'
You
could
n't
have
met
in
a
better
place
,
'
said
old
Joe
,
removing
his
pipe
from
his
mouth
.
'
Come
into
the
parlour
.
You
were
made
free
of
it
long
ago
,
you
know
;
and
the
other
two
a
n't
strangers
.
Stop
till
I
shut
the
door
of
the
shop
.

Ah
!
How
it
skreeks
.
There
a
n't
such
a
rusty
bit
of
metal
in
the
place
as
its
own
hinges
,
I
believe
;
and
I
'm
sure
there
's
no
such
old
bones
here
,
as
mine
.
Ha
,
ha
!
We
're
all
suitable
to
our
calling
,
we
're
well
matched
.
Come
into
the
parlour
.
Come

The
parlour
was
the
space
behind
the
screen
of
rags
.
The
old
man
raked
the
fire
together
with
an
old
stair-rod
,
and
having
trimmed
his
smoky
lamp
(
for
it
was
night
)
,
with
the
stem
of
his
pipe
,
put
it
in
his
mouth
again
.
576
While
he
did
this
,
the
woman
who
had
already
spoken
threw
her
bundle
on
the
floor
,
and
sat
down
in
a
flaunting
manner
on
a
stool
;
crossing
her
elbows
on
her
knees
,
and
looking
with
a
bold
defiance
at
the
other
two
.
577
'
What
odds
then
?
What
odds
,
Mrs
Dilber
?
'
said
the
woman
.
'
Every
person
has
a
right
to
take
care
of
themselves
.
He
always
did
.

'
That
's
true
,
indeed
,
'
said
the
laundress
.
'
No
man
more
so
.
'
579
'
Why
then
,
do
n't
stand
staring
as
if
you
was
afraid
,
woman
;
who
's
the
wiser
?
We
're
not
going
to
pick
holes
in
each
other
's
coats
,
I
suppose
!
'
580
'
No
,
indeed
!
'
said
Mrs
Dilber
and
the
man
together
.
'
We
should
hope
not
.
'
