A Christmas carol class 4 short answer of question-whom did Scrooge meet on his way to church and what do you think he whispered to the man?

Scrooge met one of the men who'd come to his office the previous day looking for donations to the poor. From the text, we can infer that Scrooge whispered he'd be giving him a very large donation after all.

Yes,” said Scrooge. “That is my name, and I fear it may not be pleasant to you. Allow me to ask your pardon. And will you have the goodness”—here Scrooge whispered in his ear.

“Lord bless me!” cried the gentleman, as if his breath were taken away. “My dear Mr. Scrooge, are you serious?”

“If you please,” said Scrooge. “Not a farthing less. A great many back-payments are included in it, I assure you. Will you do me that favour?”
