During December, he avoided doors with knockers.
It wasn't that he identified with Dickens's Scrooge -- there were parallels, certainly, but his curse was considerably more baroque, and he had been accumulating wealth long enough to buy Scotland several times over had he not taken to giving much of it away.

Lennox Macbeth declined to give them the opportunity -- which made Christmas more than merry enough for him.
