Well here is the second chapter and this whole book is probably going to be the most cringey thing I have ever written, comment on things I should work on and maybe encouragements cause I don't think this book is good at all. I also don't own any of the characters and story, I'm taking the plot of the muppets version but I'm not following word for word if that helps.
Anyway, enjoy...
"Whew! What an unpleasant fellow.
He was a tightfisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge.
A squeezing, wrenching, grasping, clutching covetous old sinner." described Charles Dickens.
As Scrooge entered the shop he noticed a man sitting on a chair waiting for something.
Scrooge walked over very cross and stared down the fellow who gulped and tightly held his top hat in fear of the towering man.
"Bob Cratchit?"
"Yes, Mr. Scrooge?"
"Who is this?" questioned Scrooge while pointing his cane and staring down the poor man.
"Mr. Applegate, sir. He's here to speak to you about his mortgage." Answered Bob Cratchit.
"Mr. Scrooge, I know you're very angry about this,
and I didn't mean to fall behind in the payment.
Lord knows, it being Christmas and all. Oh, please don't shout at me, sir. That and, of course, little Gwen. Her lungs aren't right. The doctor takes his share, doesn't he?
You can yell and scream, and you're right, but it will do no good. Because I'm the stone you can't squeeze blood from, and that's the truth!" Said Mr. Applegate while Scrooge kicked him out of the building.
"Let us deal with the eviction notices for tomorrow, Mr. Cratchit." Said Scrooge while turning from the door and walking to his office.
"But, tomorrow's Christmas, sir."
"Very well, you may gift wrap them. Christmas is a very busy time for us, Mr. Cratchit. People preparing feasts, giving parties. Spending the mortgage money on frivolities. One might say that December is the foreclosure season."
"Harvest time for the moneylenders." hypothesized Scrooge while he sat at his desk writing away.
"If you please, Mr. Scrooge, it's gotten colder. The bookkeeping staff would like to have an extra shovel of coal for the fire." Pleaded Bob Cratchit
"How would the bookkeepers like to be suddenly unemployed?" Yelled Scrooge angrily.
Bob shakily nodded his head and nervously walk back to his desk and sat down and continued writing until...
So I hoped you enjoyed this chapter, I know its short but there are going to be long ones and there will be short ones but, I hope to see you in the next one and again please comment on some things I should improve on it would greatly help. Until the next time!
Allons-y
