I'm not exactly sure which meeting you are referring to.
Scrooge met up with two gentlemen who were soliciting donations for the Poor at one time.
Another encounter was with two of his colleagues (in the banking business) who were quibbling over whether to attend his funeral or not.
The first ghost to visit Scrooge was that of his business partner, Jacob Marley. Later Scrooge was visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Yet to Come
The first spirit of Christmas came at one a.m.
scrooge's partner Marley visited him first
Jacob Marley was the first then there was the Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.
Since when is Scrooge a science-fiction novel? Okay the proper title is ( a Christmas Carol) but everybody recognizes the lead character, Ebeneezer Scrooge. fantasy, certainly, but in no way sci-fi. Scrooge first came out in l843.<what does that have to do with the question that was just asked?))
as there were three each had a differing aspect The Ghost of Christmas Past takes Scrooge to; His old School Ghost of Christmas Present; The streets of London on Christmas Morning The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come; To the Corn Exchange
Three spirits visit Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol": the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Each spirit shows Scrooge different aspects of his life and the consequences of his actions.
The last ghost who visited Scrooge in "A Christmas Carol" is the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, also known as the Ghost of Christmas Future. This ghost shows Scrooge the potential consequences of his actions if he does not change his ways.
He appears to Scrooge on Christmas Eve, but the time period of Christmas Yet to Come is unspecified.
Jacob Marley was the first ghost - he was formerly Scrooge's business partner, then The Ghost of Christmas Past, The Ghost of Christmas Present and The Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come.
There were four ghosts that visited Scrooge. The first ghost to come was the ghost of Scrooge's business partner, Jacob Marley. He was followed by three others, the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet To Come (a.k.a Future).
Based on the fore telling of the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come Scrooge would die that very Christmas (1843)
