Fred Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come
Jacob Marley Fezziwig
Belle (Intrusive) Narrator
1. “Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck
1 X X
out generous fire”
2. “Secret and self-contained and solitary as an oyster” 1 X X
3. “The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed
nose, shrivelled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, 1 X X X
his thin lips blue.”
4. “Scrooge had a very small fire, but the clerk’s fire was so very
1 X X X X
much smaller”
5. “all in a glow; his face was ruddy and handsome; his eyes
2 X X X
sparkled”
6. “as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time: the
only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men
and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts
freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were
fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of 2 X X X X X X
creatures bound on other journeys. And therefore, uncle,
though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I
believe that it has done me good, and will do me good; and I
say, God bless it!”
7. “’If they would rather die,’ said Scrooge, ‘They had better do it,
3 X X X
and decrease the surplus population.’”
8. “A poor excuse for picking a man’s pocket every twenty fifth
4 X X X X X
December”
9. “Scrooge took his melancholy dinner in his usual melancholy
tavern; and having read all the newspapers, and beguiled the 4 X X X X X
rest of the evening with his banker’s book, went home to bed”
10. “I wear the chains I forged in life” 6 X X
11. “Mankind was my business” 7 X X X
