LACK OF GENEROSITY
Scrooge is depicted as extremely ungenerous, refusing to give to beggars, ignoring children, and never giving anything away. He is contrasted with the weather, which "came down handsomely," while "Scrooge never did." This is a confirmed fact based on the text.
SCROOGE
No beggars implored him to bestow a trifle, no children asked him what it was o'clock, no man or woman ever once in all his life inquired the way to such and such a place, of Scrooge. ... They often 'came down' handsomely, and Scrooge never did.
