“‘If I could work my will,’ said Scrooge indignantly, ‘every idiot who goes about with
“Merry Christmas” on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake
of holly through his heart. He should!’” Ebenezer Scrooge

good old city, town, or borough in the good old world. Some people laughed to see the
alteration in him, but he let them laugh, and little heeded them.”
