Mr.
Marley
has
been
dead
these
seven
years
,
'
Scrooge
replied
.
'
He
died
seven
years
ago
,
this
very
night
.
'
'
We
have
no
doubt
his
liberality
is
well
represented
by
his
surviving
partner
,
'
said
the
gentleman
,
presenting
his
credentials
.
It
certainly
was
;
for
they
had
been
two
kindred
spirits
.
At
the
ominous
word
'
liberality
,
'
Scrooge
frowned
,
and
shook
his
head
,
and
handed
the
credentials
back
.
'
At
this
festive
season
of
the
year
,
Mr.
Scrooge
,
'
said
the
gentleman
,
taking
up
a
pen
,
'
it
is
more
than
usually
desirable
that
we
should
make
some
slight
provision
for
the
Poor
and
Destitute
,
who
suffer
greatly
at
the
present
time
.
Many
thousands
are
in
want
of
common
necessaries
;
hundreds
of
thousands
are
in
want
of
common
comforts
,
sir
.
'
'
Are
there
no
prisons
?
'
asked
Scrooge
.
'
Plenty
of
prisons
,
'
said
the
gentleman
,
laying
down
the
pen
again
.
'
And
the
Union
workhouses
?
'
demanded
Scrooge
.
'
Are
they
still
in
operation
?
'
'
They
are
.
Still
,
'
returned
the
gentleman
,
'
I
wish
I
could
say
they
were
not
.
'
'
The
Treadmill
and
the
Poor
Law
are
in
full
vigour
,
then
?
'
said
Scrooge
.
'
Both
very
busy
,
sir
.
