Charles Dickens Quotes

Being Then Just Dinner-time, We Went, First Into The Great Kitchen, Where Every Prisoner's Dinner Was In Course Of Being Set Out Separately (to Be Handed To Him In His Cell), With The Regularity And Precision Of Clock-work. I Said Aside, To Traddles, That I Wondered Whether It Occurred To Anybody, That There Was A Striking Contrast Between These Plentiful Repasts Of Choice Quality, And The Dinners, Not To Say Of Paupers, But Of Soldiers, Sailors, Labourers, The Great Bulk Of The Honest, Working Community; Of Whom Not One Man In Five Hundred Ever Dined Half So Well. But I Learned That The 'system' Required High Living; And, In Short, To Dispose Of The System, Once For All, I Found That On That Head And On All Others, 'the System' Put An End To All Doubts, And Disposed Of All Anomalies. Nobody Appeared To Have The Least Idea That There Was Any Other System, But THE System, To Be Considered.
