A Christmas Carol
What is Scrooge's appearance in stave one and stave two?

In Stave One, Scrooge's appearance is as cold as his heart.
The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shrivelled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, his thin lips blue; and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice. A frosty rime was on his head, and on his eyebrows, and his wiry chin. He carried his own low temperature always about with him; he iced his office in the dog-days; and didn’t thaw it one degree at Christmas.
Stave Two? A description of him in the present, or a description of the boy or young man he once was?
