Squire Trelawney

A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens, is a beloved tale that people of all ages have loved for its emotional and moral appeal.

After his warning, Marley tells Scrooge that he will have three more visitors, and then disappears, leaving the house quiet and empty as though he had never even been there. Scrooge then falls into a deep sleep, and wakes up to a child-faced apparition opening the curtains to his bed.…
