“Now you all know where to take your stations when you come to feast upon me.”

– Charles Dickens

Great Expectations, Chapter 11. Miss Havisham says this to the vulturous Pocket family, highlighting her awareness of the family’s greed and insincerity. She uses a cannibalism metaphor to tell them that she knows they are visiting her on her birthday because they hope to “feast” on her wealth after she is dead.
