Did you ever notice, the only one in A Christmas Carol with any character is Scrooge? Marley is a whiner who {messed} over the world and then hadn't the spine to pay his dues quietly; Belle, Scrooge's ex girlfriend, deserted him when he needed her most; Bob Cratchit is a gutless toady without enough get-up-and -go to assert himself; and the less said about that little treacle-mouth, Tiny Tim, the better. Who said it?

DorianDear, You must lay your hands on a copy of "The Portable Curmudgeon" and "Return of the Portable Curmudgeon"....both are chock full of wonderful, seldom heard quotes....sort of a Bartlett's for grumps, misanthropes and realists.
