“Suddenly someone opened the front door. A young man came in from the street. He looked happy and cheer-ful. His eyes were bright and his face was red because of the cold. He shouted cheerfully, ‘Hello! Merry Christmas, Uncle!’
‘Nonsense! Rubbish!’ replied Scoorge. ‘Christmas is nonsense. It’s humbug! Bah!’”
