Nell Trent

Nell Trent is Jacob Marley's maid in a Victorian London mystery created for the Imagination Station. Marley accuses her of stealing a diamond-and-ruby necklace, but detective Emily Jones discovers that the jewelry originally belonged to Nell. She had surrendered it to the harsh moneylender to pay for medical care for her sick daughter, Molly. Nell's grief over losing the precious necklace inspires Molly to hide it as a gift for her mother. The child's loving act leaves Nell caught in a difficult case involving poverty, justice, and mercy. Although suspicion falls on her first, Nell is not the thief Marley imagines. Her devotion to Molly explains why the necklace matters far beyond its monetary value.
