Scrooge and the Ghost

During the whole of this time, scrooge had acted like a man out of his wits. His heart and soul were in the scene. And with his former self, he corroborated everything, remembered everything,. enjoyed everything and underwent the strangest agitation. He felt the spirit's glance and stopped. What is the matter? Asked the ghost. Nothing particular, said scrooge, something i think. I should like to be able to say a word or two to my clerk just now. That's all. Scrooge turned down the lamps as he gave utterance to the wish. The pair stood side by side in the open air.
