SCROOGE'S CHAMBERS
SCROOGE'S CHAMBERS are the gloomy suite of rooms in London where Ebenezer Scrooge resides alone. Formerly belonging to his deceased business partner, Jacob Marley, these chambers are situated in a dark, dreary yard and are characterized by their age and somber atmosphere. The rooms are described as "dusty," emphasizing their neglected and unwelcoming state, and most of the building is let out as offices, further contributing to its impersonal and businesslike environment. Scrooge's chambers serve as a place of isolation, where he deliberately separates himself from family and the joys of social life and merriment. The overall impression is one of loneliness and gloom, reflecting Scrooge's own withdrawn and joyless existence.
