Ebenezer Scrooge is perhaps the most selfish of men, willing to grow his wealth at the cost of someone else’s happiness. I was reminded that we also didn’t see much of her in the second book of the series, The Last Mile, as I felt it was one that book’s weaknesses. However, their friendship comes to an end when one fails to prevent a tragedy despite having the opportunity to do so.
