<a href="javascript:;" onClick="javascript:tagshow(event, 'The');" target="_self"><u><strong>The</strong></u></a> first of the three spirits3The first of the three spirits3The schoolroom became darkerConcrete Bladeand dirtier.There was the young Scrooge again,a little older and bigger than before.He was not reading this time,but was walking up and down, looking very unhappy.The door opened,and a little girl, much younger than him,came running in.Putting her arms round his neck,Energy saving lamps,she said lovingly to him,‘I've come to bring you home,dear brother!Father is so much kinder than he used to be!The other day I asked him if you could come home,and he said yes!And we're going to spend Christmas together,and have the merriest time!’she was laughing delightedly as she began to pull him towards the door.They went out happily together,hand in hand.

‘What a warm heart she had!’said the ghost.

‘You're right,’said Scrooge.‘I agree with you,spirit!’

‘She married,I understand,’continued the ghost,‘and had children,I think #x,before she died.’

‘One child,’answered Scrooge.

‘True,’said the ghost.‘Your nephew!’

Scrooge did not answer at once.‘Yes,’he said at last.

Now the school had disappearedConcrete Blade,and they were in the middle of a busy town,with shadowy crowds and carts all around them.Here it was Christmas time again,but it was evening, and there were lights in the shops and streets.

The ghost stopped at an office door.‘Do you know this place,Scrooge?’he asked.

‘Know it!’cried Scrooge.‘Why,I was a clerk here!’

They went in,and when they saw a large,kind-looking old gentleman sitting at a high desk,Scrooge cried excitedly,‘Good Heavens,it's old Fezziwig!God bless him!It's Fezziwig alive again!’

Old Fezziwig put down his pen,and looked at the clock.Fastening his coat buttons over his fat stomachConcrete Blade,he started laughing as he called out in a rich,deep,happy voice, ‘Ebenezer!Dick!Seven o'clock!No more work tonight!It'sChristmas Eve,remember!’

The young Scrooge hurried in,with another clerk.

‘That's Dick Wilkins!’said Scrooge quietly to the ghost.

‘He always liked me.Oh dear!poor Dick!’

Together the two young clerks put away all the pens and papers,and,following Fezziwig's orders,cleared all the furniture away from the centre of the #x room.In came a fiddler.In came Mrs Fezziwig,fat and smiling.In came the three Fezziwig daughters,sweet and pretty.In came the six young men who were in love with them.In came the cook,with her young man,the milkman.In came the boy from next door, with the girl from the house opposite.In they came,some quietly,some noisily,but all happy because it was Ghristmas Eve.The fiddler started playing,and away they all went in the dance,twenty pairs at the same time,round and round, down the middle and up again.When they were all tired,old Fezziwig cried out,‘Well done!Now,have something to eat and drink!’there was cake and hot meat and bread and cold meat and fruit,and all kinds of drinks,on a long table near the door.And after they had eaten,they danced again.
