adapted from A Christmas Carol
by Charles Dickens
Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone Scroogel 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.
