Descriptions of Bob Cratchit and family from A Christmas Carol:
- The office was closed in a twinkling, and the clerk, with the long ends of his
white comforter dangling below his waist (for he boasted no great-coat)…
- In came little Bob, the father, with at least three feet of comforter exclusive of the
fringe, hanging down before him…
- Bob served it out with beaming looks, while the chestnuts on the fire sputtered

- The clerk in the Tank involuntarily applauded.
