In this excerpt from A Christmas Carolby Charles Dickens, which lines best indicate that Scrooge is changing from being a miser to a more warmhearted man
The Phantom slowly, gravely, silently, approached. When it come near him, Scrooge bent down upon his knee, for in the very air through which
this Spirit moved it seemed to scatter gloom and mystery
It was shrouded in a deep black garment, which concealed its head, its face, its form, and left nothing of it visible save one outstretched hand,
But for this it would have been difficult to detach its figure from the night, and separate it from the darkness by which it was surrounded,
He felt that it was tall and stately when it came beside him, and that its mysterious presence filled him with a solemn dread. He knew no more,
for the Spirit neither spoke normoved,
"I am in the presence of the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Comer said Scrooge.
The Spirit answered not, but pointed orward with its hand,
"You are about to show me shadows of the things that have not happened, but will happen in the time before is," Scrooge pursused, "Is that so,
Spirit
The upper portion of the garment was contracted for an instant in its folds, as if the Spirit had indired its head. That was the only answer he
received
Although well used to ghostly company by this time, Scrooge feared the silent shape so much that his legs trembled beneath him, and he found
that he could hardly stand when he prepared to follow it. The Spirit paused a moment, as observing his condition, and giving hier time to
recover
But Scrooge was all the worse for this, it thrilled him with a vague uncertain horror, to know that behind the dusky shroud, there were ghostly
eyes intently fixed upon him, while he, though he stretched his own to the utmost, could see nothing but a spectral hand and one great heap of
black
"Ghost of the Futurer" he exclaimed, "I fear you more than any spectre I have seen, But as I know your purpose is to do me good, and as I hope
to live to be another man from what I was, I am prepared to bear you company, and do it with a thankful heart Will you not speak to me?"
It gave him no reply. The hand was pointed straight before them.
