CHARLES DICKENS. Ebenezer Scrooge being visited by the 'ghost of christmas present'. The Ghost of Christmas Present shows Scrooge the whole of London celebrating Christmas, including Fred and the Cratchit family. When Scrooge expresses concern for Cratchit's sickly son Tiny Tim, the spirit informs him that the boy will die unless something changes and uses Scrooge's earlier words about "decreasing the surplus population" against him. The spirit then produces two misshapen, sickly children he names Ignorance and Want. When Scrooge asks if they have anyone to care for them, the spirit throws more of Scrooge's own words back in his face: "Are there no prisons, no workhouses?". A Christmas Carol in prose. Being a Ghost-story of Christmas ... With illustrations by John Leech. London : Chapman & Hall, 1843. Source: Dex.293.(1) page 119.
