What is Scrooge's utterance in A Christmas Carol?

Answer 1

He is decribed by Dickens as " a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster. The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shrivelled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, his thin lips 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 carried his own low temperature always about with him; he iced his office in the dog-days; and didn't thaw it one degree at Christmas".

Answer 2

• "Bah!" said Scrooge, "Humbug!"
• "And the Union workhouses." demanded Scrooge. "Are they still in operation?"
• "If they would rather die," said Scrooge, "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."
• "a little thing affects them. A slight disorder of the stomach makes them cheats. You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato. There's more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!"
• "I must. But why do spirits walk the earth, and why do they come to me?"
