In the discussion beween the Ghost of Chrstmas present and Ebenezer the Ghost has taken him to various places to show the depath of depravity and want around him. When Scooge challenges the Ghost as why these people were like this and why no one seemed to care or help. The Ghosts response was, "Are there no work houses and there no prisons?" This was exactly what Scrooge asked of the Two gentlemen that came to his offices seeking a small donation on Christmas Eve in an aid to help the poor at this special time of year.

Scrooge's speech with the ghost in Stave One is ironic because he dismisses the idea of ghosts as a product of an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of underdone potato. His skepticism about the supernatural is contrasted with the very real appearance of the ghost in front of him.
