For the Ghost of the Christmas Present, he reminds him of statements he has made or action he has taken when he questions why others do the same i.e. When seeing the children (Want and Ignorance) beneath the robes of the Ghost of Christmas Present Scrooge is shocked by their sickly and malnourished condition He asks the ghost, Have they no resource, have they no one to care for them?" The ghosts reply was Scrooge's retort to the two gentlemen in stave one who asked for a donation to help the sick and needy at this time of year, "Are there no prisons, are there no work houses and the treadmill, is that still gainfully employed?"
