| 19337 | Is it a foot or a claw?" |
| 19337 | Is it not enough that you are one of those whose passions made this cap, and force me through whole trains of years to wear it low upon my brow?" |
| 19337 | Is it not? |
| 19337 | Is its pattern strange to_ you_?" |

| 19337 | What right have you to be merry? |
| 19337 | What shall I put you down for?" |
| 19337 | What then? |
| 19337 | What was merry Christmas to Scrooge? |
| 19337 | What''s the consequence? |
| 19337 | When will you come to see me?" |
| 19337 | Where had Scrooge heard those words? |
| 19337 | Who suffers by his ill whims? |
| 19337 | Who''s next?" |
| 19337 | Who''s the wiser? |
| 19337 | Who''s the worse for the loss of a few things like these? |
| 19337 | Why did he not go on? |
| 19337 | Why did his cold eye glisten, and his heart leap up as they went past? |
| 19337 | Why do you delight to torture me?" |
| 19337 | Why give it as a reason for not coming now?" |
| 19337 | Why show me this, if I am past all hope?" |
| 19337 | Why was he rejoiced beyond all bounds to see them? |
| 19337 | Will you come and see me?" |
| 19337 | Will you decide what men shall live, what men shall die? |
| 19337 | Will you do me that favour?" |
| 19337 | Will you let me in, Fred?" |
| 19337 | Will you not speak to me?" |
| 19337 | You are not a skater, I suppose?" |
| 19337 | You went to- day, then, Robert?" |
| 19337 | [ Illustration:_"You recollect the way?" |
| 19337 | are they yours?" |
| 19337 | cried Fred,"who''s that?" |
| 19337 | cried a cheerful voice._]"What else can I be,"returned the uncle,"when I live in such a world of fools as this? |
| 19337 | exclaimed the Ghost,"would you so soon put out, with worldly hands, the light I give? |
| 19337 | replied the Ghost,"do you believe in me or not?" |
| 19337 | the one as big as me?" |
| 40729 | (_ Makes sign to Bob, who extinguishes his candle and puts on his hat and enters._) You''ll want all day to morrow, I suppose? |
| 40729 | And Martha warn''t as late last Christmas Day by half an hour? |
| 40729 | Are there no work- houses? |
| 40729 | B._ Mr. Scrooge? |
| 40729 | B._ Oh, sir, how can we ever sufficiently manifest our gratitude for such unexpected generosity? |
| 40729 | B._ To whom will our debt be transferred? |
| 40729 | Bed curtains? |
| 40729 | But why do spirits walk the earth, and why do they come to me? |
| 40729 | But, however and whenever we part from one another, I am sure we shall none of us forget poor Tiny Tim, shall we? |
| 40729 | C._ And how did little Tim behave? |
| 40729 | C._ Knew what, my dear? |
| 40729 | C._ What has ever got your precious father, then? |
| 40729 | Cold, is n''t it? |
| 40729 | Come, dine with us to- morrow? |
| 40729 | Do you know whether they''ve sold the prize turkey that was hanging up there? |
| 40729 | Do you remember this? |
| 40729 | Eh? |
| 40729 | Even if I have grown so much wiser, what then? |
| 40729 | Have I not? |
| 40729 | Have I the pleasure of addressing Mr. Scrooge, or Mr. Marley? |
| 40729 | Have you had many brothers, Spirit? |
| 40729 | I am not changed toward you,(_ She shakes her head._) Am I? |
| 40729 | If I was to stop half- a- crown for it you''d think yourself ill- used, I''ll be bound? |
| 40729 | If this had never been between us, tell me, would you seek me out and try to win me now? |
| 40729 | Is it good or bad? |
| 40729 | Is it not enough that you are one of those whose passions made this cap, and force me through whole trains of years to wear it low upon my brow? |
| 40729 | Is its pattern strange to_ you_? |
| 40729 | Is that so much that he deserves your praise? |
| 40729 | Is that so, Spirit? |
| 40729 | K._ Guess? |
| 40729 | K._ How can I? |
| 40729 | K._ Who was it? |
| 40729 | Laughter and merriment to follow Scrooge''s speech.__ Spir._ Do you know it? |
| 40729 | M._ And did you not sacrifice your love in releasing him? |
| 40729 | M._ If he wanted to keep''em after he was dead, the wicked old Screw, why was n''t he natural in his life time? |
| 40729 | M._ Is it a bear? |
| 40729 | M._ Is it a pig? |
| 40729 | M._ Whose else''s do you think? |
| 40729 | M._ Why, then, do n''t stand staring as if you was afraid, woman; who''s the wiser? |
| 40729 | M._ You wish to be anonymous? |
| 40729 | May I make bold to enquire what business has brought you here? |
| 40729 | My dear Mr. Scrooge, are you really serious? |
| 40729 | Not the little prize turkey; the big one? |
| 40729 | Ought we not demand an explanation? |
| 40729 | Poor Robin Crusoe, where have you been, Robin Crusoe? |
| 40729 | R._ What has he done with his money? |
| 40729 | R._ When did he die? |
| 40729 | S._ Why, what was the matter with him? |
| 40729 | SCENE I.--_Scrooge''s chambers.__ Scrooge discovered upon his knees.__ Scro._ Can this be the Spirit of Christmas Future that I see approaching? |
| 40729 | Say that his power lives in words and looks; in things so light and unsignificant that it is impossible to add and count''em up; what then? |
| 40729 | Shall it be blind man''s buff? |
| 40729 | So Old Scratch has got his own, at last, hey? |
| 40729 | Spirit and Scrooge following, coming down front, and observing with interest all that passes.__ Bob._ Why, where''s our Martha? |
| 40729 | Spirit, are they yours? |
| 40729 | Suppose we have a game? |
| 40729 | Suppose we make up a party and volunteer? |
| 40729 | There, now guess? |
| 40729 | Tiny Tim, what do you say to that? |
| 40729 | Tut, do n''t I know(_ laughingly_), Mr. Scrooge? |
| 40729 | We''re not going to pick holes in each other''s coats, I suppose? |
| 40729 | Were there no poor houses to which its light would have conducted_ me_? |
| 40729 | What do you mean by coming here? |
| 40729 | What do you say to a game? |
| 40729 | What do you want with me? |
| 40729 | What do_ you_ say, Topper? |
| 40729 | What news? |
| 40729 | What odds, Mrs. Dilber? |
| 40729 | What reason have you to be merry? |
| 40729 | What reason have you to be morose? |
| 40729 | What right have you to be dismal? |
| 40729 | What right have you to be merry? |
| 40729 | What say you to the charge? |
| 40729 | What shall I do? |
| 40729 | What shall I put you down for? |
| 40729 | What then? |
| 40729 | What''s the consequence? |
| 40729 | Who suffers by his ill whims? |
| 40729 | Who''s next? |
| 40729 | Who''s the worse for the loss of a few things like these? |
| 40729 | Why do you delight to torture me? |
| 40729 | Why do you point away? |
| 40729 | Why does he not go on? |
| 40729 | Why give it as a reason for not coming now? |
| 40729 | Why have shown me all that you have, if I am past all hope? |
| 40729 | Why not? |
| 40729 | Why? |
| 40729 | Will you come and see me? |
| 40729 | Will you do me the favor? |
| 40729 | Will you let me in? |
| 40729 | Will you not speak to me? |
| 40729 | Would it apply to any kind of dinner on this day? |
| 40729 | You do n''t mean that, I''m sure? |
| 40729 | You see this tooth- pick? |
| 40729 | You went to- day, then, Robert? |
| 40729 | You''re not a skater, I suppose? |
| 40729 | [_ Exeunt._]_ Scro._ Spirit, is there a peculiar flavor in what you sprinkle from your torch? |
| 40729 | [_ Shakes chain and wrings his hands._]_ Scro._ You are fettered; tell me why? |
| 40729 | _ Enter Mr. Barnes_, L.,_ passes across stage; Scrooge follows and stops him.__ Scro._ My dear sir(_ taking both, his hands_), how do you do? |
| 40729 | _ Fred._ But why? |
| 40729 | _ Fred._ I want nothing from you; I ask nothing of you; why can not we be friends? |
| 40729 | _ Fred._ What is it? |
| 40729 | _ Gho._ Man of the worldly mind, do you believe in me, or not? |
| 40729 | _ Gho._ Slow? |
| 40729 | _ Gho._ What evidence do you require of my reality beyond that of your senses? |
| 40729 | _ Gho._ Why do you doubt your senses? |
| 40729 | _ Gho._ You do n''t believe in me? |
| 40729 | _ Joe._ His blankets? |
| 40729 | _ Joe._ What do you call wasting of it? |
| 40729 | _ Joe._ You do n''t mean to say you took''em down, rings and all, with Old Scrooge lying there? |
| 40729 | _ Joe._(_ Opening bundle._) What do you call this? |
| 40729 | _ Julia._ Is it a tiger? |
| 40729 | _ Mrs B._ We are quite ruined? |
| 40729 | _ Mrs M._ But, mother, did you really love him? |
| 40729 | _ Sarah._ Is it a cat? |
| 40729 | _ Sarah._ What is it? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ And the union work- houses-- are they still in operation? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ Are spirit''s lives so short? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ Are there no prisons? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ Can you-- can you sit down? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ Could n''t I take''em all at once, and have it over, Jacob? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ Do you know the poulterers in the next street but one, at the corner? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ Going to church, eh? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ Have they no refuge or resource? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ How long since you contracted the debt? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ Is it? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ Is that the chance and hope you mentioned, Jacob? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ Long past? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ Spirit, tell me if Tiny Tim will live? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ The tread- mill and the poor law are in full vigor, then? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ To- night? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ What else can I be when I live in such a world of fools as this? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ What right have you to be passing here to remind me that it is Christmas? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ What would you have me do? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ What''s to day my fine fellow? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ Where have I heard those words? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ Who are you? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ Who, and what are you? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ Who_ were_ you then? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ Why did you get married? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ Why to a poor one most? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ Why, James, how much do you owe me? |
| 40729 | _ Scro._ You travel fast? |
| 40729 | _ Spir._ Are there no prisons? |
| 40729 | _ Spir._ Have never walked forthwith the younger members of my family, meaning-- for I am very young-- my elder brothers, born in these later years? |
| 40729 | _ Spir._ What is the matter? |
| 40729 | _ Spir._ What is the matter? |
| 40729 | _ Spir._ You remember it? |
| 40729 | _ Stevens._ How are you? |
| 40729 | _ Topper._ Is it a dog? |
| 40729 | _ Voice outside._ Eh? |
| 40729 | _ Voice outside._ What do you take me for? |
| 40729 | _ Voice outside._ What the one as big as me? |
| 40729 | _ Young S._ Have I ever sought release? |
| 40729 | _ Young S._ Home, little Fan? |
| 40729 | _ Young S._ In what, then? |
| 40729 | _ Young S._ What idol has displaced you? |
| 40729 | _ Young S._ What then? |
| 40729 | _ Young S._ You think not? |
| 40729 | dreadful apparition, why do you trouble me? |
| 40729 | may I come in? |
| 40729 | not coming, on Christmas Day? |
| 40729 | who''s that? |
| 40729 | would you so soon put out, with worldly hands, the light I give? |
| 40729 | you boy in your Sunday clothes, what''s to- day? |
