The nephew's party, Ignorance and Want

1 Over London's sleeping rooftops, one golden window glows behind crimson curtains

2 Scrooge finds himself in his nephew's firelit sitting-room beside the smiling Spirit

3 Fred stops laughing and says quietly that he will invite his uncle every year out of pity.

4 Unseen by the harp, Scrooge softens as his niece plays the little air Fan once knew

5 Fred raises his mulled wine to "Uncle Scrooge!", and the whole party toasts the absent man.

6 The aged Spirit opens his green robe to show Scrooge two starving children at his feet

7 The two children crawl out of the Spirit's green robe for the first time.

9 The Spirit turns Scrooge's own words back on him, and the whole blow lands in his eyes.

10 As the last stroke of Twelve fades, Scrooge stands alone on open ground and lifts his eyes.
