Jacob Marley was Scrooge's former business partner who had died seven years earlier. Scrooge is a miserly, cold-hearted man who runs his own counting house and cares only for money. It is Christmas Eve but snowy and cold, yet Scrooge refuses to celebrate the holiday and turns away two gentlemen who come to his counting house seeking donations for the poor. As Scrooge heads home unhappy and alone that night, he is visited by the ghost of his former partner Marley, who warns Scrooge that he risks the same fate as Marley unless he changes his ways.
