    "He was so fluttered and so glowing with his good intentions,
    that his broken voice would scarcely answer to his
    call. He had been sobbing violently in his conflict with the
    Spirit, and his face was wet with tears.

    `They are not torn down.' cried Scrooge, folding one of
    his bed-curtains in his arms,' they are not torn down, rings
    and all. They are here -- I am here -- the shadows of the
    things that would have been, may be dispelled. They will
    be. I know they will.'

    His hands were busy with his garments all this time;
    turning them inside out, putting them on upside down,
    tearing them, mislaying them, making them parties to every
    kind of extravagance.

    `I don't know what to do.' cried Scrooge, laughing and
    crying in the same breath; and making a perfect Laocoon of
    himself with his stockings. `I am as light as a feather, I
    am as happy as an angel, I am as merry as a schoolboy. I
    am as giddy as a drunken man. A merry Christmas to
    everybody. A happy New Year to all the world. Hallo
    here. Whoop. Hallo.'
