A squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, cluiching, cavelous old sinner! Hard and sharp as fin, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and sell-contained, and solitary as an oyster. The cold within him fraze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shrivelled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, his thin ips blue; and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice. A frosty rime was on his head, and on his eyebrows, and his wiry chin. He cartied his um low temperature always about ‘with him; ne iced his office in the dog-days; and didn't thaw it one degree at Christmas. External heat and cold had inte influence on Scrooge. No warmth could warm, ner ‘wintry weather chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snow was mare intent upon its purpose, no peltingrain less open to entreaty. Foul weather didn't know where to have him. The heaviest rain, and snow, and hail, and sleet, ‘could boas! of the advantage over him in only one respect. They often ‘came dow handsomely, and Scrooge never did. Nobody ever stopped him in the street to say, with gladsome looks, ‘My dear ‘Scrooge, how are you? When will you come to see me?” No beggars implored him to bestow a trifle, no children asked him what it was o'clock, no man or woman ever once in all his life inquired the way to such and such a place, of Scrooge. Even the blindmen's dogs appeared to know him; and when they saw him coming on, vould tug their owners into doorways and up courts: and then would wag their tails 35 though they said, ‘na eye al all is better than an evil eye, dark master! But what did Scrooge care? It was the very thing he liked. To edge his way along the crowded paths of ite, waming all human sympathy to keep its distance, was what the knowing ones call nuts’ to Serooge.‘You should use the extract below a your knowledge of the whole novel to answer this, question. ‘White about Scroage and the way he changes throughout the novel.
