Good rewrite! I'm curious too.

Yes, I agree. I think that actually that Scrooge seems a bit strange,
probably because he's been redrawn over a previous Scrooge, that maybe, was
already exited by the sight of the jewels. Maybe Barks, re-reading it,
decided to add panel 9.7, abd had to change Scrooge in panel 9.6 to be
consistent with the following panels. Or maybe he just changed that Scrooge
becasue he'd realized that an exited Scrooge in that panel (while the vase
was still breaking) has something wrong in contemporaneity.

I understand I'm not being clear (I woudn't know ho to explain this exactly
in Italian, in English even less), but if you look at that page you'll
realize what I mean.
