Added DiffLines:

* Scrooge's slowly building fear before Marley visits includes a moment where he spills his gruel out of its spoon, showing how thin it is, before dropping the spoon itself.
* When Scrooge shows Marley the toothpick he's picked up, he waves it around for several seconds before accusing him of not looking at it.
* Scrooge is so shaken by Marley's visit and the lamentations of the wandering spirits that he ''leaps'' into bed.
* Scrooge's interactions with just about anyone after Christmas, but especially Mrs Dilber, who reacts like he's lost his mind.
