A quotation that best demonstrates Abundance is:
Its open hand, its cheery voice, its unconstrained demeanour, and its joyful air.
It was clothed in one simple green robe, or mantle, bordered with white fur.
Heaped up on the floor, to form a kind of throne, were turkeys, geese, game, poultry, brawn, great joints of meat, sucking-pigs, long wreaths of sausages (...) there sat a jolly Giant, who bore a glowing torch, in shape not unlike Plenty’s horn.
Girded round its middle was an antique scabbard; but no sword was in it.
"The Phantom slowly, gravely, silently, approached. When it came near him, Scrooge bent down upon his knee…It [the phantom] was shrouded in a deep black garment, which concealed its head, its face, its form, and left nothing of it visible save one outstretched hand. But for this it would have been difficult to detach its figure from the night, and separate it from the darkness by which it was surrounded."
