'' said Scrooge after a moment 's thought . `` I wonder you , of all the beings in the many worlds about us , should desire to cramp these people 's opportunities of innocent enjoyment . '' `` I !

'' exclaimed the Spirit . `` Forgive me if I am wrong . It has been done in your name , or at least in that of your family , '' said Scrooge .
