Marley Flashcards
What does Marley’s ghost carry?
The concerns he held in life.
“Cash-boxes, keys, padlocks…”
“Cash-boxes, keys, padlocks, ledgers, deeds, and heavy purses wrought in steel”
“a good man of business, Jacob,” faltered Scrooge
“Mankind was my business”.
“Doomed to wonder through the world…”
“Doomed to wander through the world…and witness what it cannot share, but might have shared on Earth, and turned into happiness”
“Old Marley was”
“Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail”
“There’s more gravy
than grave about you, whatever you are!”
“Speak comfort to me, Jacob!”
“I have none to give.”
The air was filled with phantoms,
wandering hither and thither in restless haste, and moaning as they went.
