His body was transparent; so that Scrooge, looking through his waistcoat, could see the two buttons on his coat behind. Scrooge was incredulous and fought against his senses. gliss. ˙. ˙. ˙. ˙. ˙ ˙ ˙ ˙ w ∏ U w. 4 6 4 6 4 6 4 6 4 6 4 6 & b b V b b # ˙ œ nœ N˙ ah œ bœ ah # ˙ œ nœ ˙ 12 4 12 4 12 4 ? b b p ∑ Œ Œ œ œ #˙. ˙. 12 4 ah & b b ˙. ˙. . . 12 # ˙ œ nœ # ˙ œ nœ # ˙. ˙ ˙. 4 ? b b N˙ œ bœ N˙ œ Aœ N ˙. ˙. j 12 œ œ œ #˙. ˙. ˙ 4 ah œ œ ah #˙. * Gradually opening from the closed oh to a bright ah in bar/measure 55. ˙. ˙. ˙. gliss. ˙ . ˙ .

22 6. Mankind was my Business Edmund Sears (1810–76) BENEDICT SHEEHAN STAVE 1, Scene 4 “How now!” said Scrooge, caustic and cold as ever. “What do you want with me? Who are you?” “In life I was your partner, Jacob Marley.” “You don’t believe in me,” observed the Ghost. “I don’t,” said Scrooge.

Would you know the weight and length of the strong coil you bear yourself? It was full as heavy and as long as this, seven <strong>Christmas</strong> Eves ago.

I cannot rest, I cannot stay, I cannot linger anywhere.” “But you were always a good man of business, Jacob!” faltered Scrooge. w. mm π ∑ ∑ w. ∑ ∑ Ó . w. ∑ Œ Œ π mm œ n˙ w. ∑ # œ œ œ nœ ˙w. bœ ∑ # ˙ œ ∑ œ œ œ ˙ w. # œ w. w. ∑
