`why, it's old fezziwig. bless his heart; it's fezziwig alive again.'
old fezziwig laid down his pen, and looked up at the clock, which pointed to the hour of seven. he rubbed his hands; adjusted his capacious waistcoat; laughed all over himself, from his shows to his organ of benevolence; and called out in a comfortable, oily, rich, fat, jovial voice:
`yo ho, there. ebenezer. dick.'
scrooge's former self, now grown a young man, came briskly in, accompanied by his fellow-prentice.

`you are quite a woman, little fan.' exclaimed the boy.
she clapped her hands and laughed, and tried to touch his head; but being too little, laughed again, and stood on tiptoe to embrace him. then she began to drag him, in her childish eagerness, towards the door; and he, nothing loth to go, accompanied her.

`these are but shadows of the things that have been,' said the ghost. `they have no consciousness of us.'
the jocund travellers came on; and as they came, scrooge knew and named them every one. why was he rejoiced beyond all bounds to see them. why did his cold eye glisten, and his heart leap up as they went past. why was he filled with gladness when he heard them give each other merry christmas, as they parted at cross-roads and bye-ways, for their several homes. what was merry christmas to scrooge. out upon merry christmas. what good had it ever done to him.
`the school is not quite deserted,' said the ghost. `a solitary child, neglected by his friends, is left there still.'
scrooge said he knew it. and he sobbed.

`why, it isn't possible,' said scrooge, `that i can have slept through a whole day and far into another night. it isn't possible that anything has happened to the sun, and this is twelve at noon.'
