Charles Dickens Quotes

They Were Old Chimes, Trust Me. Centuries Ago, These Bells Had Been Baptized By Bishops: So Many Centuries Ago, That The Register Of Their Baptism Was Lost Long, Long Before The Memory Of Man, And No One Knew Their Names. They Had Had Their Godfathers And Godmothers, These Bells (for My Own Part, By The Way, I Would Rather Incur The Responsibility Of Being Godfather To A Bell Than A Boy), And Had Their Silver Mugs No Doubt, Besides. But Time Had Mowed Down Their Sponsors, And Henry The Eighth Had Melted Down Their Mugs; And They Now Hung, Nameless And Mugless, In The Church-tower.
