To Scrooge’s surprise, it now looked like Marley’s face. It had never looked like this before, and Scrooge had not even thought about Marley since the man had died. Scrooge looked at the door knocker for several moments, and then it changed back to being an ordinary door knocker again. Scrooge told himself that what he had seen had been his imagination. He closed the door and then he went up to his room where he lit a candle. The sound of his voice seemed to echo throughout the building. Then another strange thing happened as he climbed the wide stairs. In front of him, he thought he saw a hearse(灵车). He could not be sure, though, because the light from his candle was not very strong. Scrooge was not worried about darkness. He liked it because it was cheap.Before going to bed, he looked up at an old bell that hung from the ceiling. It was a bell that at one time had been used to send for a servant, but it had not been used for many years. Now, suddenly, it began to move and a few moments later it began to ring. Scrooge was now afraid. He became even more afraid when he a few minutes later he heard a loud noise coming from the rooms beneath the building.
