Then he remembers that Marley said another ghost would come to him at one o'clock, so Scrooge lies awake, waiting for the hour. At the stroke of one o'clock, a light flashes in his room and a hand draws back the curtains of his bed.

The long, white tunic the ghost wears is girded by a belt with a sprig of holly symbolizing winter tucked in it, but spring flowers hem the bottom of the tunic. The ghost is a visualization of the contradictions of youth and age as well as the contradictions of winter and spring. From his head shines a radiant beam of light, and under his arm he carries a hat that resembles a candlesnuffer.
