" 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. "

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."
