@gutenberg_org Regarding the two starving, pathetic waifs shown to Scrooge by the Ghost, "They are Man’s . . . 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.”
