Stave 3 Flashcards
Description of the Ghost of Christmas Present:
“simple green robe … hung loosely … breast bare … feet, observable … also bare”
The ghost foreshadows Tiny Tim’s death:
“I see a vacant seat … a crutch without an owner … the child will die”
People everywhere are celebrating Christmas even workers:
“helmsman at the wheel … dark, ghostly figures … hummed a Christmas tune”
Scrooge asks if the poor have anywhere to go:
“Have they no refuge or resource?”
The ghost replies with what Scrooge said earlier on:
“with his own words. ‘Are there no workhouses?’”
Scrooge is enjoying what the ghost is showing him and doesn’t want to leave:
“They all played and so did Scrooge … ‘One half hour, Spirit, only one!’”
