She did this not out of fear of him, but out of pity. Because she had come to see the ultimate terrible truth behind all others.

Old Marley was as dead as a doornail. Mind! I don't mean to say that, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a doornail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade.

You will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as dead as a doornail.
Charles Dickens
