I apologize for the lateness of this response, but I found this post through Unfunnybusiness over on JF - at least I think it was Unfunnybusiness. I came into it planning to read only the first part and come back to the rest of it later, but I ended up reading the whole thing in one sitting. It was a fascinating read - I knew Patton had a rather unsavory side to his character, but I had no idea just how unsavory a lot of his beliefs actually were - and it certainly gave me a renewed appreciation for A Christmas Carol. I have terrible trouble with Dickens novels myself: I've made several attempts to read them that have ended in dismal failure, but this is making me want to go back and try again. Thanks for writing this, and for sharing it!
