This is another one of Dickens' Christmas stories. The story takes place in an inn. A dejected lover believes his darling has been untrue with his best friend and, instead of talking to her about it, decides to run away to America. His plan is foiled by the weather and he gets snowed in at The Holly Tree Inn for Christmas. Dickens then turns this into some tales within a tale story. He retells the story of Sweeney Todd and some other suspense stories, but then comes to the heart of the matter. He tells of two even younger lovers that ran away to this inn in an attempt to get married. This little tale and the ending of the main one is enough to melt any Scrooge's heart.
