GUIDANCE
The Ghost of Christmas Past acts as a guide for Scrooge, leading him through memories and encouraging his reclamation and welfare.
GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST
'Your welfare!' said the Ghost. ... 'Your reclamation, then. Take heed!' ... 'Rise! and walk with me!' ... 'Bear but a touch of my hand _there_,' said the Spirit, laying it upon his heart, 'and you shall be upheld in more than this!' ... As the words were spoken, they passed through the wall, and stood upon an open country road, with fields on either hand.
