(B)
They left the busy streets and went to a part of the town Scrooge never visited. It was a terrible place. The streets were dirty, and the smell was very bad. The houses and shops were of the poorest kind. The people were all thin, dirty, and they looked very ill. Everything was ugly.
They came to where an old man sat. He was selling dirty pieces of cloth, smelly old bones, and all kinds of old and useless things. As they watched, two old women and an old man, equally dirty, smelly, and ugly, came into the shop. They carried large bags.
“Come and sit by the fire,” the shopkeeper said.“Tell me what you have to sell me.”
“Nothing a dead man will miss,” the first woman said with a nasty (让人讨厌的) laugh.
“If he wanted to keep them after he was dead, why wasn't he a good man when he was alive? If he had been, he would have had someone to look after him. He would not have died alone.”
“That's very true,” said the second woman, putting a few clothes on the floor.“He got the death he deserved.” She pointed at the clothes.“What will you give me for those, Joe?” She asked the shopkeeper, adding,“I did no wrong taking them from the dead man's house.”
The shopkeeper looked at everything the woman wanted to sell him and put a price on it. Then he added everything up. The final amount was very small.
“That's not much,” the woman said.
“Take it or leave it,” the shopkeeper said.“I won't pay a penny (便士) more.”
