What replaced her
What replaced her
This was not Scrooge's wife, as he never married. Belle was his fiance. She broke off their engagement because he had replaced love of her with love of money.

“A golden one.”
“This is the even-handed dealing of the world!” he said. “There is nothing on which it is so hard as poverty; and there is nothing it

“You fear the world too much,” she answered, gently. “All your other hopes have merged into the hope of being beyond the chance of its sordid reproach. I have seen your nobler aspirations fall off one by one, until the master-passion, Gain, engrosses you. Have I not?”
