A Christmas Carol
Quote what Scrooge says to charity workers, A quote that will haunt him later in the play.

Scrooge pointedly asks the charity men why he should give to children in need:
“Are there no prisons? ...Are there no workhouses?”
The ghost of Christmas present reminds Scrooge of what he said in Stave 3 when Scrooge asks if the poor children have no resources.
