Character: Ebenezer Scrooge

Won't skimp on the light of money is not taken.

- Heard! - said Scrooge. - To have fun at Christmas! And you-by what right want to have fun? What are your reasons for fun? Or you think that you're still not poor enough?
In this case, - cheerfully replied the nephew, by what right do you so unduly pessimistic, uncle? Do you have any reason to be gloomy? Or you think that you are still not rich enough?

- I suppose tomorrow you do not intend to report for work.
- If quite convenient, sir.
- It is very inconvenient and unfair. But if I can keep with you for half a crown, you'd think yourself ill-used, isn't it?
- However, you can't think that I will be able to think yourself ill-used, when I pay you a salary for nothing.
- A rather weak excuse, in order for each year, the twenty-fifth of December, to run hand in my pocket.
