"There is no doubt that Marley was dead. This must be distinctly understood, or nothing wonderful can come of the story I am going to relate."
I think these words are important because they help the reader understand how the author will be narrating the book. In this excerpt, the reader is introduced to the author's peculiar humor. The reader then draws the assumption that they can expect this type of humor throughout the rest of the book.
