The Chimes
Another in the Christmas books, this one is new year's themed! Again, not great work, but it's got all the hallmarks of Dickens, which I'm obviously a sucker for.

That I growed up a man and not a beast says something for me.
Quoted on January 11, 2016
A man may live to be as old as Methuselah,’ said Mr. Filer, ‘and may labour all his life for the benefit of such people as those; and may heap up facts on figures, facts on figures, facts on figures, mountains high and dry; and he can no more hope to persuade ’em that they have no right or business to be married, than he can hope to persuade ’em that they have no earthly right or business to be born. And that we know they haven’t. We reduced it to a mathematical certainty long ago!
