Scrooge- Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone! Scrooge! 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.
