“Meanwhile the fog and darkness thickened so, that people ran about with flaring
links, proffering their services to go before horses in carriages, and conduct them on
their way. The ancient tower of a church, whose gruff old bell was always peeping
slily down at Scrooge out of a gothic window in the wall, became invisible, and struck
the hours and quarters in the clouds, with tremulous vibrations afterwards as if its
teeth were chattering in its frozen head up there. The cold became intense. In the
main street, at the corner of the court, some labourers were repairing the gas-pipes,
and had lighted a great fire in a brazier, round which a party of ragged men and boys
were gathered: warming their hands and winking their eyes before the blaze in
rapture. The water-plug being left in solitude, its overflowings sullenly congeaied, and
turned to misanthropic ice. The brightness of the shops where holly sprigs and
berries crackled in the lamp-heat of the windows, made pale faces ruddy as they
passed. Poulterers' and grocers' trades became a splendid joke: a glorious pageant,
with which it was next to impossible to believe that such du!! principles as bargain
and sale had anything to do. The Lord Mayor, in the stronghold of the mighty
Mansion House, gave orders to his fifty cooks and butlers to keep Christmas as a
Lord Mayor's household should; and even the little tailor, whom he had fined five
shillings on the previous Monday for being drunk and bloodthirsty in the streets
stirred up tomorrow's pudding in his garret, while his lean wife and the baby sallied
out to buy the beef.”
