'The third spirit will come at midnight.' Scrooge suddenly remembered the words of Jacob Marley's ghost,and,lifting his eyes, saw a spirit, all in black, coming slowly towards him. It was a tall, silent figure, wearing a long black robe which hid its head and body. When it came close to him, it stopped and pointed onwards with one hand. Scrooge was more afraid of this spirit than he had been of the others, and his voice was shaking as he asked, 'are you the spirit of Christmas Yes to Come?' The ghost neither spoke nor moved, but still pointed onwards.
'Are you going to show me shadows of the thiags which haven't happened yet, but will happen in the future?' Scrooge asked.
There was no answer.
'Ghost fo the future!' he continued. 'You frighten me very much' but i think you can help me to change my life. I'll be very grateful to you if you show me the future. Won't you speak to me?'
Again, no reply.
'Well, show me the way, spirit!' said Scrooge finally.
