This is extreme even for Badaly…
Scrooge:
“Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?”
Charity Collector:
“But many would rather die than go there!”
Scrooge:
“If they’d rather die, then they had better do it… and decrease the surplus population.”
That living room wall lighting is something new to me beyond traditional sconces. When the heat pumps die in 10-15 years, I hope ones of similar size can be obtained for the through the wall installation. Across the street from my place, there is a co-op which claimed to be the earliest modest income development with AC in 1957. This was in the bedroom only. I see many bedrooms now use window ACs instead of the wall installation.
What a beauty.
It reminds me very much of Rosario Candela and Emery Roth!
