In Their Own Words
"“Christmas a humbug, uncle!” said Scrooge's nephew. “You don’t mean that, I am sure?”"
"“I am sorry for him; I couldn't be angry with him if I tried. Who suffers by his ill whims! Himself, always.”"
"“He may rail at Christmas till he dies, but he can't help thinking better of it--I defy him--if he finds me going there, in good temper, year after year, and saying Uncle Scrooge, how are you?”"
