SPAMCAPITAL OMEGA: THE REMAKE OF THE REMAKE OF THE SPAM

"He is past relenting," said her husband. "He is dead."
 
She was a mild and patient creature if her face spoke
truth; but she was thankful in her soul to hear it, and she
said so, with clasped hands.
 
She prayed forgiveness the next moment, and was
sorry; but the first was the emotion of her heart.
 
"What the half-drunken woman whom I told you of last
night, said to me, when I tried to see him and obtain a
week's delay; and what I thought was a mere excuse to avoid
me; turns out to have been quite true. He was not only
very ill, but dying, then."
 
"To whom will our debt be transferred?"
 
"I don't know. But before that time we shall be ready
with the money; and even though we were not, it would be
a bad fortune indeed to find so merciless a creditor in his
successor. We may sleep to-night with light hearts, Caroline!"
 
Soften it as they would, their hearts were lighter.
 
The children's faces, hushed and clustered round to hear what
they so little understood, were brighter; and it was a happier
house for this man's death!
 
The only emotion that the Ghost could show him,
caused by the event, was one of pleasure.
 
"Let me see some tenderness connected with a death," said
Scrooge; "or that dark chamber, Spirit, which we left just
now, will be for ever present to me."
 
The Ghost conducted him through several streets familiar
to his feet; and as they went along, Scrooge looked here and
there to find himself, but nowhere was he to be seen.
 
They entered poor Bob Cratchit's house; the dwelling he had
visited before; and found the mother and the children seated
round the fire.
 
The noisy little Cratchits were as still as statues in
one corner, and sat looking up at Peter, who had
a book before him.
 
The mother and her daughters
were engaged in sewing.
 
"'And He took a child, and set him in the midst of them.'"
 
Where had Scrooge heard those words?
