Remember that, and charge their doings on themselves, not us."
" External heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge. No warmth could warm, no wintry weather chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snow was more intent upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open to entreaty. "
Darkness is cheap, and Scrooge liked it.
