However, she soon realizes that she has unwittingly incurred a massive gambling debt in her husband's name.

In an attempt to protect her husband's reputation and prevent any harm to their marriage, Nell decides to keep the debt a secret. She takes it upon herself to repay the debt without Cardross's knowledge, fearing that revealing the truth would strain their relationship.
