A Christmas Carol - Marley the Ghost - Exclusive to The Crow Emporium
“Old Marley was as dead as a doornail.
Mind! I don't mean to say that, 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 ironmongery in the trade. But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country's done for. You will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as dead as a doornail.”
― Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
There is a tradition of placing coins on the eyes of a body is to pay the Ferryman en route to the afterlife, as we can see in the opening of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Each one of our A Christmas Carol Ghosts comes with their own penny for the Ferryman.
