Bells..


Humbug!" said Scrooge; and walked across the room.

After several turns he sat down again. As he threw his head back in the
chair, his glance happened to rest upon a bell, a disused bell, that
hung in the room, and communicated, for some purpose now forgotten, with
a chamber in the highest story of the building. It was with great
astonishment, and with a strange, inexplicable dread, that, as he
looked, he saw this bell begin to swing. It swung so softly in the
outset that it scarcely made a sound; but soon it rang out loudly, and
so did every bell in the house..

I love the atmospheric image, I can't wait now for my trip to the theatre to see A Christmas Carol nearer Christmas.

Oh, I lovelovelove this. A Christmas Carol is my absolute favorite. I collect old copies. And this illustration is heaven. I feel as though if I leaned forward a bit I could fall right into it!
