In Their Own Words
"“Mr. Scrooge!” said Bob; “I'll give you Mr. Scrooge, the Founder of the Feast!”"
"“God bless us every one!” said Tiny Tim, the last of all."
"“Somehow he gets thoughtful, sitting by himself so much, and thinks the strangest things you ever heard. He told me, coming home, that he hoped the people saw him in the church, because he was a cripple, and it might be pleasant to them to remember upon Christmas Day, who made lame beggars walk, and blind men see.”"
