XXVI.
THE CRATCHITS' CHRISTMAS DINNER


At last the dinner was all done, the cloth was cleared, the hearthswept, and the fire made up. The compound in the jug being tasted, andconsidered perfect, tipples and oranges were put upon the table, and ashovelful of chestnuts on the fire. Then all the Cratchit family drewround the hearth in what Bob Cratchit called a circle, meaning half aone; and at Bob Cratchit's elbow stood the family display of glass--twotumblers and a custard-cup without a handle.These held the hot stuff from the jug, however, as well as goldengoblets would have done; and Bob served it out with beaming looks,while the chestnuts on the fire sputtered and cracked noisily. Then Bobproposed:"A Merry Christmas to us all, my dears. God bless us!"Which all the family reechoed."God bless us every one!" said Tiny Tim, the last of all.
