Prologue
On the day that his business partner, Jacob Marley, died, Scrooge was very hesitant to give the undertaker 2 gold coins. He eventually gave the undertaker the gold coins and then while the undertaker wasn't looking, Scrooge picked up 2 other gold coins hidden in Marley's eyelids.

Visit from Marley's Ghost
On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is returning from his day in his counting house when his door knocker turns into the face of his former business partner Jacob Marley. This startle's Scrooge. When Scrooge is eating in his room, Marley startles him again, but this time in the form of a green misty human wearing chains with chests attached to them. Ocasionally Marley's jaw fell off while speaking to Scrooge.

Marley explains to Scrooge that he spent the last 7 years traveling the world bound in chains as punishment for his selfishness. He tells Scrooge that hestill has "a chance and a hope of escaping his fate", and to do so he would be visited by 3 spirits. Immediatly Scrooge declines. Marley then warns Scrooge that the spirits are coming one by one at different times, Scrooge suggests that he is visited by the spirits in one go but then Marley leaves through a nearby window.
