Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 27 December 1843: 'The Christmas Carol strikes me much as it does you. I dont like the machinery -- which is entangled with allegory & ghostery -- but I like & admire the mode of the working out -- & the exquisite scenes about the clerk & little Tiny [Tim]; I thank the writer in my heart of hearts for them.'
