And outside the door Scrooge could hear happy voices singing,
»Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la la la la la,
'Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la la la la la!«

»Bah -« Uncle Scrooge began. But he could not finish. Something caught in his throat. When he looked up again, a third figure was standing beside his bed.
»I am the spirit of Christmas Yet to Come,« said this figure, who was dressed in black. »If you do not mend your ways, you will never have a happy Christmas again.«
