Maxwell Equal Area

    Gin a body meet a body

    “I don’t suppose there’s a man going, as possesses the fondness for youth that I do. There’s youth to the amount of eight hundred pound a-year, at Dotheboys Hall at this present time. I’d take sixteen hundred pound worth, if I could get ‘em, and be as fond of every individual twenty pound among ‘em as nothing should equal it!”
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    Sprouting despondently at area gates.
