He found it at a very small market for only two gold coins (which was cheap considering the thing currently has a value of over 100). He didn't know the thing was meant for men who wanted to see the stars up close, but he did like the brass device and the blue stone in the center. It fit perfectly in his hands and that's how he knew it was meant…

The Patrick Stewart version was…

Dickens makes a positive aura around the Christmas feeling as of Stave 1, he makes the Stave full of energy as when Scrooge wakes up he is suddenly buzzing with energy and is as “light as a feather” and runs to the window where a young boy is shocked to know that Scrooge doesn’t know what day it is.
