Why is Fan's news exciting for Scrooge?

As a boy, Ebenezer Scrooge lived a solitary life at school.  He knew his father as an unkind man who had sent Ebenezer away to live at school.  His home was not a happy place. At school, Ebenezer found solace in reading.  


One day around Christmastime, Ebenezer's younger sister Fan entered the room where he sat reading.  He was much older than she was.  She excitedly told him that their father was a changed person and that she has come to bring him home.  She explained that their father was much kinder than he was before.  Ebenezer was excited to learn that their once sad home was now a happy place.  Fan told her brother that he was coming home for good and that they would spend a happy Christmas together at home.  Happily, they drove off together in a carriage.
