Synopsis:
The Ghost of Christmas Present takes Scrooge away from the Cratchitt’s home and presents him with a series of Christmas scenes: A mining family on a bleak moor, the keepers of a solitary lighthouse out at sea, and the crew of a ship.
In each case the circumstances of the individuals concerned are difficult; yet each hums ’a Christmas tune’. Then the scene changes again.
Now Scrooge sees his nephew, Fred, at his Christmas party. Fred is in the process of relating to his guests his encounter with Scrooge that very morning, during which Scrooge described Christmas as ’humbug’. The essence of the scene is generosity, Christmas cheer and a refusal to censure Scrooge for his behaviour.
They journey on and ’in misery’s every refuge, where vain man had not made fast the door and barred the Spirit out, he left his blessing’.
Finally Scrooge asks the Ghost about two children he has noticed sheltering in the folds of his robe. The Spirit says they are the children of mankind: ’This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased!’
The bell strikes twelve and the Ghost disappears, to be replaced by the ghoulish sight of the last of the three spirits ’coming, like a mist along the ground, towards him.’
This clip is from the BBC School Radio series A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. The classic Christmas ghost story of Ebenezer Scrooge and his haunting by three spirits is read by Alan Smith in an abridgment that is faithful to the original text.
