These miserable children are man's,'said the spirit."the boy is crime.the girl is need.they will destroy man if nothing is done about them"
"Can't anyone help them?'cried scrooge
"Are there no prisons?'said the spirit ,turning on scrooge for the last time with his own words.'are there no workhouses?'
The clock struck twelve.scrooge looked ,but could no longer see the ghost or the children.he was alone again.
