Oh
!
I
was
afraid
,
from
what
you
said
at
first
,
that
something
had
occurred
to
stop
them
in
their
useful
course
,
'
said
Scrooge
.
'
I
'm
very
glad
to
hear
it
.
'
'
Under
the
impression
that
they
scarcely
furnish
Christian
cheer
of
mind
or
body
to
the
multitude
,
'
returned
the
gentleman
,
'
a
few
of
us
are
endeavouring
to
raise
a
fund
to
buy
the
Poor
some
meat
and
drink
,
and
means
of
warmth
.
We
choose
this
time
,
because
it
is
a
time
,
of
all
others
,
when
Want
is
keenly
felt
,
and
Abundance
rejoices
.
What
shall
I
put
you
down
for
?
'
'
Nothing
!
'
Scrooge
replied
.
'
You
wish
to
be
anonymous
?
'
'
I
wish
to
be
left
alone
,
'
said
Scrooge
.
'
Since
you
ask
me
what
I
wish
,
gentlemen
,
that
is
my
answer
.
I
do
n't
make
merry
myself
at
Christmas
and
I
ca
n't
afford
to
make
idle
people
merry
.
I
help
to
support
the
establishments
I
have
mentioned
--
they
cost
enough
;
and
those
who
are
badly
off
must
go
there
.
'
'
Many
ca
n't
go
there
;
and
many
would
rather
die
.
'
'
If
they
would
rather
die
,
'
said
Scrooge
,
'
they
had
better
do
it
,
and
decrease
the
surplus
population
.
Besides
--
excuse
me
--
I
do
n't
know
that
.
'
'
But
you
might
know
it
,
'
observed
the
gentleman
.
'
It
's
not
my
business
,
'
Scrooge
returned
.
'
It
's
enough
for
a
man
to
understand
his
own
business
,
and
not
to
interfere
with
other
people
's
.
Mine
occupies
me
constantly
.
Good
afternoon
,
gentlemen
!
'
Seeing
clearly
that
it
would
be
useless
to
pursue
their
point
,
the
gentlemen
withdrew
.
