A Christmas Carol Flashcards
Many can’t
go there: and many would rather die
If they would rather
die, they had better do it and decrease the surplus population
The phantom
silently, gravely aproached…it seemed to scatter gloom and mystery
I will live
in the past, the present and the future…The spirit of all three shall strive within me
I have seen your
nobler aspirations fall off one by one until the master passion, Gain, engrosses you
If these shadows
remain unaltered by the Future, the child will die
I will raise
your salary and…assist your struggling family
Scrooge hung his
head…and was overcome with penitence and grief
To edge
his way along the crowded paths of life, warning all human sympathy to keep its distance
I mean to
give him the same chance every year…for I pity him
God bless
us, everyone
the only time…
where men and women…think of people below them as if they were fellow passengers to the grave
secret and
self-contained and solitary as an oyster
A lonely boy
was sat reading near a feeble fire
A pale light
fell straight upon the bed and on it PLUNDERED and BEREFT,UNWATCHED,UNWEPT,UNCARED FOR wads the body of this man
