Illustrated by Arthur Rackham, 1915

The Project Gutenberg eBook




Bob Cratchit went down a slide on Cornhill, at
the end of a lane of boys, twenty times, in
honour of its being Christmas Eve



Nobody under the bed; nobody in the closet; nobody in
his dressing-gown, which was hanging up in a
suspicious attitude against the wall



The air was filled with phantoms, wandering hither
and thither in restless haste and moaning as they went




Old Fezziwig stood out to dance with Mrs. Fezziwig




The way he went after that plump
sister in the lace tucker!




'What do you call this?' said Joe. 'Bed-curtains'



'It's I, your uncle Scrooge. I have come
to dinner. Will you let me in, Fred?'
