A Christmas Carol (Illustrated)

Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol opens with the protagonist, miserly businessman Ebenezer Scrooge, working late on Christmas Eve in his London office when his nephew Fred drops by to invite him to Christmas dinner. Fred's Christmas greetings-repeated annually and annually declined-send Scrooge into a rant against the holiday and those who celebrate it. When Scrooge's clerk, Bob Cratchit, quietly applauds Fred's inspirational defense of Christmas, Scrooge threatens to fire him. As Fred leaves, a pair of gentlemen collecting money for the poor call on Scrooge, but he quickly dismisses them with the reminder that he already supports prisons and workhouses for the poor. At closing time, Scrooge grudgingly gives Cratchit the next day (Christmas Day) off before heading home to a gloomy structure that once belonged to his business partner Jacob Marley, who died on Christmas Eve seven years before.
