In short, Scrooge starts Crachit's day with the shock of his life. When Cratchit arrives to work "eighteen minutes and a half" late, Scrooge treats him with the same malevolent demeanor he has "for many a year," and as Scrooge is scolding and poking at Cratchit causing him to back away from him with fear, Scrooge gives him the shock of his life by telling him that he is going to raise his salary " which causes Cratchit to tremble and consider knocking Scrooge down with a ruler and screaming for someone to get a strait-jacket, for he thinks Scrooge has gone insane.
