This is in stave five when Scrooge has made an oath to The Ghost Of Christmas Yet To Come to change his ways and keep Christmas.

Scrooges tone is softened when he calls on the boy and asks what day it is and then when asking him to seek out the poulterer he uses the phrase "Hallo, my fine fellow", something the old Scrooge would not have said. Then in reference to the turkey he wants Scrooges says ""An intelligent boy!" said Scrooge. "A remarkable boy! Do you know whether they've sold the prize Turkey that was hanging up there?-Not the little prize Turkey: the big one?"

"What, the one as big as me?" returned the boy.

"What a delightful boy!" said Scrooge. "It's a pleasure to talk to him. Yes, my buck!"

This is all in a friendly welcoming and complimentary tone at the end of which Scrooge offers up the phase, "I am in earnest. Go and buy it, and tell 'em to bring it here, that I may give them the direction where to take it. Come back with the man, and I'll give you a shilling. Come back with him in less than five minutes and I'll give you half-a-crown!"

All of these show a much different Scrooge than we see in Stave one and show a remarkable change
