YEAR FOUR

EBENEEZER SCROOGESNAKE



Now this........ THIS is how you dress a spoon.

The eyes have been replaced, the nose filed down.  But the hat!  The coat!  The glasses and hair!  The "BAH! HUMBUG!" banner!  The subtle use of the chains that Scrooge forged in life hanging from his arm!  And he's standing in the snow with a tiny lantern on the ground that is PAINTED YELLOW TO LOOK LIKE THE REFLECTION OF THE LIGHT!

This was it.  I couldn't undo this.  It was too good.  It was time to retire the Snakespoon.

Well played, Gram.  Well played.
