SIGN-OFF QUOTE[s]:

`[These children] are Man’s,’ said the Spirit, looking down upon them. `And they cling to me, appealing from their fathers. This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased. Deny it.’ cried the Spirit, stretching out its hand towards the city. `Slander those who tell it ye. Admit it for your factious purposes, and make it worse. And abide the end.’

`Have they no refuge or resource.’ cried Scrooge.

`Are there no prisons.’ said the Spirit, turning on him for the last time with his own words. `Are there no workhouses.’ ~ A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens (A CHRISTMAS CAROL)
