Read the following passage from an online blog. Today was day three of picketing Harley's Fine Fashions. Still no
progress, though - the management refuses to take down the furs
from the main window display. Chet and Angelo made some great new
signs for the protest. One sign says, "The only thing we have to fear is
fur itself." I thought that was pretty clever. The most important thing
that happened today was that the local news came by. They
interviewed me, and I told them we were there to help protect
defenseless animals and why we felt that was important. They said if
they decide to air the story, it would likely be aired tomorrow, but only if
it's a slow news day. I hope it does air - the more exposure a cause
gets, the better.

" "it isn’t that," said scrooge, heated by the remark, and speaking unconsciously like his former, not his latter, self. "it isn't that, spirit. he has the power to render us happy or unhappy; to make our service light or burdensome; a pleasure or a toil. say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count ’em up: what then? the happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune." he felt the spirit's glance, and stopped. "what is the matter? " asked the ghost. "nothing particular," said scrooge. "something, i think? " the ghost insisted. "no," said scrooge, "no. i should like to be able to say a word or two to my clerk just now. that's all."
