______3. ""I am the Ghost of Christmas Present," said the Spirit. "Look upon me!"

______11.“I don't know what to do!" cried Scrooge, laughing and crying in the same breath; and making a

perfect Laocoön of himself with his stockings. "I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel, I am as merry as a school-boy. I am as giddy as a drunken man. A merry Christmas to every-body! A happy New Year to all the world! Hallo here! Whoop! Hallo!”
