[3] "spirit," said scrooge, with an interest he had never felt before, "tell me if tiny tim will live."
[4] "i see a vacant seat," replied the ghost, "in the poor chimney-corner, and a crutch without an owner, carefully preserved. if these shadows remain unaltered by the future, the child will die."
[5] "no, no," said scrooge. "oh, no, kind spirit! say he will be spared."
[6] "if these shadows remain unaltered by the future, none other of my race," returned the ghost, "will find him here. what then? if he be like to die, he had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."
