From the book
A prompt from this edition.
Every stave of the Commonplace Edition closes with a prompt.
Commonplace
Scrooge tells the gentlemen collecting for the poor, “It’s enough for a man to understand his own business.” That night Marley’s ghost cries, “Mankind was my business.” Circle the word “business” each time it appears in the stave. What does Marley mean by it that Scrooge does not?
