KONDITOREI

Apple strudel, candied fruits, iced tarts, marzipan, Turkish coffee, and hot chocolate.

 

WINTER WIND

Freeze, freeze thou bitter sky,

That does not bite so nigh

As benefits forgot:

Though thou the waters warp,

Thy sting is not so sharp

As a friend remembered not.

Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:

Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:

Then heigh-ho, the holly!

This life is most jolly.

 

Snow, sleet, and biting wind with a touch of holly leaf and winter mint.

 

GOOD CHEER

Roasted chestnuts and candied figs.

 

SCROOGE’S APARTMENTS

They were a gloomy suite of rooms, in a lowering pile of building up a yard, where it had so little business to be, that one could scarcely help fancying it must have run there when it was a young house, playing at hide-and-seek with other houses, and forgotten the way out again.

 

Darkness is cheap, and Scrooge liked it: dust and darkness, a spoonful of gruel, and a low fire burning in the grate.

 

THE STORYTELLER’S PARLOR

No, no! The adventures first, explanations take such a dreadful time.

 

A soft leather armchair, pipesmoke, crackling firewood, and a snifter of brandy.
