Based on this being about the initial contact with Marley in stave one - Scrooge initially dismisses the apparition. When Marly demands he look at him and clarify if he (scrooge) disbelieves his eyes Scrooge accepts he can see him but quickly using dismissive terms to explain away what he sees and gain a modicum control and tries to take the initiative away from the spirit before him
Scrooge attempts to gain control of situations by exerting his authority and wealth over others, often by using intimidation and manipulation. He will also try to assert control by using his financial resources to influence people and events to his advantage. Ultimately, he believes that control equals power and will do whatever it takes to maintain it.
