  • Old Marley was as dead as a doornail. Mind! I don't mean to say that, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a doornail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade.

You will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as dead as a doornail.

They are bent on the destruction of the established order and of civilised ways of doing business. They must never be allowed to succeed.
