The Ghost of Christmas Present said that Scrooge's clerk, Bob Cratchit, and his family needed his sprinkle the most, as they were living in poverty and struggling to make ends meet. He urged Scrooge to be more compassionate towards them.

The clerk observed that it was only once a year. "A poor excuse for picking a man's pocket every twenty-fifth of December!" said Scrooge, buttoning his great-coat to the chin. "But I suppose you must have the whole day. Be here all the earlier next morning."
