Marley’s chain was mude of cash-boxes, keys, padlocks, ledgers, deeds and heavy purses wrought in steel. elfi as f£O€ The Ghost informed Screoge, “it is required of every man thut the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellowmen; and if that spirit goes not forth in life, it is condenined to do so after death. It is doomed to wander through thé world—and witness what it cannot share. “You will be haunted by Three Spirits. Without their visits, you cannot hope to shun the path I tread. Expect the first when the bell tolls One.” Scrooge awoke and the curtains of his bed were drawn by a small, sh creature. “Tam the Ghost of Christmas Past,” it said.

Conduct me home. Why do you torture me?” Scrooge had no occasion to be told that the bell was again upon the stroke of One.
