That’s Dickens with a C and a K, the Well-Known English Author
Marley was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it: and Scrooge’s name was good upon ’Change, for anything he chose to put his hand to. Old Marley was as dead …

Night of Stone by Catherine Merridale
“We made the journey in 1997, at the end of October. The winter had set in early that year, and even St Petersburg had its first covering of snow.
