"No. Spirit, hear me! I'm not the man I was! Why show me this if I'm past all hope? Spirit, assure me that I may change

these shadows you've shown me! Change them by an altered life! Spirit, I will honour Christmas in my heart and try to keep

it all the year. I will not shut out the lessons of the past, nor present, nor future. Oh, please, spirit, tell me I may sponge

away the writing on that stone!"
