What does this excerpt from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens reveal about Ebenezer Scrooge?

It opened; and a little girl, much younger than the boy, came darting in, and putting her arms about his neck, and often kissing him, addressed him as her "Dear, dear brother."

"I have come to bring you home, dear brother!" said the child, clapping her tiny hands, and bending down to laugh. "To bring you home, home, home!"

"Home, little Fan?" returned the boy.

"Yes!" said the child, brimful of glee. "Home, for good and all. Home, for ever and ever. Father is so much kinder than he used to be, that home’s like Heaven! He spoke so gently to me one dear night when I was going to bed, that I was not afraid to ask him once more if you might come home; and he said Yes, you should; and sent me in a coach to bring you. And you’re to be a man!" said the child, opening her eyes, "and are never to come back here; but first, we’re to be together all the Christmas long, and have the merriest time in all the world."

Ebenezer Scrooge is the main character in Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. He is an old grumpy man who seems to hate everyone and everything around him. Not even Christmas time seems to be able to warm his heart.

Scrooge is visited by three spirits who show him his own history, always with visions related to Christmas. In the excerpt we are analyzing here, Fan, Scrooge's sister is the family member who gives him a sense of belonging. Even though his own father is usually a tough man to deal with, Fan makes Scrooge happy by telling him they are going home together, and he treats her with kindness.
