He is decribed by Dickens as " a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster. The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shrivelled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, his thin lips blue; and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice. A frosty rime was on his head, and on his eyebrows, and his wiry chin. He carried his own low temperature always about with him; he iced his office in the dog-days; and didn't thaw it one degree at Christmas".

  • "Bah!" said Scrooge, "Humbug!"
  • "And the Union workhouses." demanded Scrooge. "Are they still in operation?"
  • "If they would rather die," said Scrooge, "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."
  • "a little thing affects them. A slight disorder of the stomach makes them cheats. You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato. There's more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!"
  • "I must. But why do spirits walk the earth, and why do they come to me?"

Scrooge's famous utterance in "A Christmas Carol" is "Bah, humbug!" This phrase is used to express his disdain for the Christmas season and all the joy and goodwill associated with it.
