The Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come conveyed him , as before -- though at a different time , he thought : indeed , there seemed no order in these latter visions , save that they were in the Future -- into the resorts of business men , but showed him not himself . Indeed , the Spirit did not stay for anything , but went straight on , as to the end just now desired , until besought by Scrooge to tarry for a moment . `` This court , '' said Scrooge , `` through which we hurry now , is where my place of occupation is , and has been for a length of time . I see the house . Let me behold what I shall be in days to come . '' The Spirit stopped ; the hand was pointed elsewhere . `` The house is yonder , '' Scrooge exclaimed . `` Why do you point away ? '' The inexorable finger underwent no change . Scrooge hastened to the window of his office , and looked in . It was an office still , but not his . The furniture was not the same , and the figure in the chair was not himself . The Phantom pointed as before . He joined it once again , and , wondering why and whither he had gone , accompanied it until they reached an iron gate . He paused to look round before entering . A churchyard . Here , then , the wretched man , whose name he had now to learn , lay underneath the ground . It was a worthy place . Walled in by houses ; overrun by grass and weeds , the growth of vegetation 's death , not life ; choked up with too much burying ; fat with repleted appetite . A worthy place !
The Spirit stood among the graves , and XXXXX down to One .
