also in clear to me was it a prior is a kind of pipe. totally unfamiliar with this this terminology, I managed to look it up and found that a prayer was a kind of pipe. this is important for understanding a detail of the story or a narrator mentions a prior
A difference in the use of language in the United States threw me for a second then I remember the difference. in the United States the first floor is a ground floor but but in Europe the first floor is the first floor above the ground floor. The man who wrote the article was was telling he woke in the middle of the night feeding something strange, and it is mentioned that his room was on the first floor. he looks up the stairs and sees nothing and then he looks the other way. what could the other way be if his room was on the first floor? It could be down the stairs to the ground floor, because his room was on the floor above the ground floor contrary to what I initially assumed because of my American understanding of what the first floor was. Trivial ? Yes, enough to puzzle me and distract me from the story and give me the sense that I did not understand what was being described until I made the adjustment for European versus the American vocabulary .
Hi Tony, you have no doubt seen the latest take on Scrooge- 2019- BBC or ITV- not sure as I live in Canada- the darker, " psychological " - almost gothic I suppose, interpretation- I've watched it 5x- found it very entertaining obviously (although I still love to read the original- years ago I found an "ancient"- a Christmas present!! copy with illustrations, in a "junk" shop, paid pennies for it- ca. W.W.1- early 20's I think- might be older) and of course, "who doesn't love a "tale well told" by a gifted narrator- esp. if parents didn't bother - only 1 around and a bit dysfunctional-) Just curious...Namaste from Holly Golightly...
How would someone find it? Is hard searching A Christmas Carol and not getting a hundred different hits to sort through lol But it would be interesting to see a darker and more Gothic version. I have to admit that my favorite one to watch is Muppet's Christmas Carol lol
Thanks!
thank you 🙏
Victorian era was very imaginative!
I would listen to this every December!
Awesome! Merry Christmas.
Thank you Tony! Merry Christmas everyone!
😊🎄🎁🧑🎄🎄🎅
Proper scary! Thanks Mr. Tony...
Merry Christmas, y'all!
Hello Tony, happy Christmas from France. I love them all and the poem at the end is very touching.
Sleep tight my friends.💓
Thank you Sir.

True. First Floor is the one above the ground floor for us
