" One day, at the moment when the cold, dim, smoky night was coming onto the earth, in the old Scrooge's room resided the whole burden of a heavy atmosphere of everyday worries. He sat silent, extremely frozen, when he heard the movements of other people beyond his window in the courtyard. They breathed heavily upon their chest and stomped their feet on the floor in an attempt to keep themselves warm. But, although it wasn't late yet, it was terribly dark — it became dark much earlier that day — the neighboring windows were already lit up, as if with red stains on the clear air. Despite the fog stretching into the house through every crevice, there were still clear views outside. The courtyard was extremely narrow, while the opposite houses looked as if they seemed like phantoms, because of the dense fog. If you took a closer look at these gray clouds, you'd think they were actually part of nature and were created at this moment. "

"It is Christmas Eve in London in the past, and old Ebenezer Scrooge sits inside his building where it's freezing, dark and gloomy. One hears people with a cough outside and howling winds. It's dark, everyone is too tired or hungry for their daily celebration because everyone missed light the whole day before.The clocks are barely reached eight o' clock, but already it's really dark and candles in neighbouring buildings flicker like fueled flames on their gray misty atmosphere. The wetness comes in over every crack or doorway such that even though the street is very narrow, it's heavy dark as if inadvertently, a mammoth storm was Mother Earth's hand."

Описание книги от Charles Dickens
"Once upon a time—of all the good days in the year, on Christmas Eve—old Scrooge sat busy in his counting-house. It was cold, bleak, biting weather: foggy withal: and he could hear the people in the court outside, go wheezing up and down, beating their hands upon their breasts, and stamping their feet upon the pavement stones to warm them. The city clocks had only just gone three, but it was quite dark already—it had not been light all day—and candles were flaring in the windows of the neighbouring offices, like ruddy smears upon the palpable brown air. The fog came pouring in at every chink and keyhole, and was so dense without, that although the court was of the narrowest, the houses opposite were mere phantoms. To see the dingy cloud come drooping down, obscuring everything, one might have thought that Nature lived hard by, and was brewing on a large scale."
