'What does your torch do, spirit?' asked Scrooge.
'It gives a special taste to people's dinners on this day,'
answered the spirit.
'Why do you use it most on poor people?' said Scrooge.
'Because poor people need it most,' was the reply.
They went on through London, and came to the small
house where Scrooge's clerk lived. Here the spirit smiled,
and held his torch high over the door. Inside, Bob Cratchit's
wife and second daughter, Belinda, in their everyday
dresses, but looking clean and pretty, were putting plates
on the table for their Christmas dinner. Bob's son Peter
was helping to cook the potatoes, and two smaller
Cratchits, a boy and a girl, were running round excitedly.
