"...Wretched"

I read #45 is in his private quarters fuming tweeting rage, and resentment to the world,...on Christmas Eve. As Dicken said of Scrooge in A Christmas Carol. This in words put to the character Fan's lips. 
On hearing of Scrooge in his counting house fingering coins by a single candle she said,... 

"Poor wretched man. Alone. All alone in the whole world."
