Charles Dickens Quotes

There Was Something Very Awful, Too, In The Spectre's Being Provided With An Infernal Atmosphere Of Its Own. Scrooge Could Not Feel It Himself, But This Was Clearly The Case; For Though The Ghost Sat Perfectly Motionless, Its Hair, And Skirts, And Tassels, Were Still Agitated As By The Hot Vapour From An Oven.
