A Great Surprise to Scrooge's Nephew

It was a great surprise to scrooge, while listening to the moaning of the wind and thinking what a solemn thing it was to move on through the lonely darkness. It was a much greater surprise to Scrooge to recognize it as his own nephew's. If you should happen by any unlikely chance to know a man more blessed in a laugh than scrooge's nephew, all i can say is, i should like to know him too. Introduce him to me and i'll cultivate his acquaintance. While there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour.
