The spirit of Scrooge's long dead partner, Marley, came to him in the night and told him he would be visited at midnight, for the next three nights, by three different spirits. The next night, at the twelfth strike of the clock, the Spirit of Christmas Past arrived, and took Scrooge through scenes from his past. The spirit showed Scrooge the woman he had loved and lost because of his love of money. The man she married came home and told her, Belle, that he'd just seen Scrooge, sitting alone in his counting house, while his business partner, Marley, lay dying elsewhere. Scrooge was overcome with fear and anger.
"'Spirit,' said Scrooge in a broken voice, 'remove me from this place.'
'I told you these were shadows of the things that have been,' said the Ghost. 'That they are what they are, do not blame me.'
"'Remove me!' Scrooge exclaimed, 'I cannot bear it!'
"He turned upon the Ghost, and seeing that it looked upon him with a face, in which in some strange way there were fragments of all the faces it had shown him, wrestled with it.
"'Leave me! Take me back. Haunt me no longer!'
"In the struggle, if that can be called a struggle in which the Ghost with no visible resistance on its own part was undisturbed by any effort of its adversary, Scrooge observed that its light was burning high and bright; and dimly connecting that with its influence over him, he seized the extinguisher-cap, and by a sudden action pressed it down upon its head.
"The Spirit dropped beneath it, so that the extinguisher covered its whole form; but though Scrooge pressed it down with all his force, he could not hide the light, which streamed from under it, in an unbroken flood upon the ground.
"He was conscious of being exhausted, and overcome by an irresistible drowsiness; and, further, of being in his own bedroom. He gave the cap a parting squeeze, in which his hand relaxed; and had barely time to reel to bed, before he sank into a heavy sleep."
Scrooge extinguishes the ghost of Christmas Past's light with its cap to make it disappear and end the visit.
