A Christmas Carol. The Tunbridge Wells trilogy, #2

This is a tale based on a man, a man whom I am sure you all know. Inside, he is a very modern man. Like most 'modern' men, he deems himself the personification of good manners, good dress sense, and good moral character. As such, he considers himself a little better than most. In reality, he is the personification of any man who believes himself better than most. In fact, he is a little like you and me, and, like us, he has his clique of friends, a sense of 'place' in society.
But what he has not got is his soul, well, not quite yet!Please note* All places and characters mentioned or implied are real, both past and present.
