“The room in which the boys were fed was a large stone hall with a copper at one end, out of which the master, dressed in an apron for the purpose and assisted by one or two women, ladled the gruel at mealtimes, of which composition each boy had one porringer, and no more—except on festive occasions…” —Oliver Twist

Here’s a festive occasion: Happy 200th Birthday Charles Dickens!

And yes, you can have some more.
