Marley was dead to begin with. There is no doubt, whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it and scourge. His name was good upon change for anything he chose to put his hand to old Marley was as dead as a door. Knew mind. I don't mean to say that I know of my own knowledge. What? There is particularly dead about a doornail. I might have been inclined myself to regard a coffin nail as the deadest piece of iron monger ary in the trade. But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile, and my unhealed hands shall not disturb it or the country is done for. You will therefore permit me to repeat emphatically that Marley was as dead as a doornail.
