Scrooge Visits Fred's House

In the afternoon, Scrooge turns his steps towards his nephew's house. He passes the door a dozen times before he has the courage to knock. When the girl answers, he asks if his master is at home and then goes in. He finds Fred and his wife at the table, and Fred is astonished to see him. Scrooge asks to be let in for dinner, and Fred welcomes him with open arms, almost shaking his arm off. The party is wonderful, with games and happiness. Scrooge is at home in five minutes.
