On page 20 a caroller comes to his door and Scrooge makes them run away. On page 15 he refuses his own nephew’s Christmas meal invitation.…

Pitching a tent without poles is a difficult task; sleeping in one for a week is even harder. The wind blows at the feeble attempt of shelter, constantly swaying the loose tarp scrappily tied between two trees. The rain seeps down through ill-positioned window flaps to create a permeating dankness.
