BROKEN RELATIONSHIP
The fair young girl is described as ending her relationship with Scrooge due to his change in character and pursuit of wealth, which displaced their former happiness and unity.
FAIR YOUNG GIRL
He was not alone, but sat by the side of a fair young girl in a mourning dress: in whose eyes there were tears, which sparkled in the light that shone out of the Ghost of Christmas Past... 'It matters little,' she said softly. 'To you, very little. Another idol has displaced me; and, if it can cheer and comfort you in time to come as I would have tried to do, I have no just cause to grieve.'... 'You are changed. When it was made you were another man.' 'Your own feeling tells you that you were not what you are,' she returned. 'I am. That which promised happiness when we were one in heart is fraught with misery now that we are two.'
