There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial
was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the
chief mourner. Scrooge signed it. And Scrooge's name was good upon
'Change, for anything he chose to put his hand to. Old Marley was
as dead as a door-nail. Mind! I don't mean to say that I know, of
my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a
door-nail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a
coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade. But
the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed
hands shall not disturb it, or the Country's done for. You will
therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as
dead as a door-nail.
