"Death was nothing like he was told. In Church, in the dining halls, he could never have imagined the cold, rough feeling of the chains in his hands, the biting cold of the afterlife, the gnawing, harrowing, distressing sight of Ebenezer Scrooge."

It was not an agreeable idea. Scrooge shivered, and wiped the
perspiration from his brow.'
