He was ultimately loyal
No, there was a Martha. She was Bob Cratchits eldest daughter
The Cratchits were outraged that Bob wanted to drink to Scrooge's health because they knew that Scrooge was underpaying Bob as well as mistreating him
They aren't. Now Bob Cratchit no longer has a job.
He purchases it and sends it to Bob Cratchits home on Christmas Morning
Bob sees Scrooge for what he is , a miserly old man who because of his attitude of shunning everyone is losing out on life
It was Bob Cratchits home where Scrooge sees what Bobs family think of him and learns, whoo bob is loyal and that Tiny Tim will not see the next Christmas if "things" do not change
It was bob cratchit's house following the death of tiny tim
Bob is grateful for the fifteen shillings and six pence pay he earns each week compared to nothing at all and tries to make a bad situation more tolerable. However, Mrs Cratchit sees Scrooges bad attitude toward the loyal hard-working bob and is incensed by it
The Cratchits' reaction revealed that they were forgiving and understanding people. Despite Scrooge's mistreatment of them, they were able to show kindness and compassion by accepting his toast with grace and humility. This highlighted their positive and empathetic demeanor.
Scrooge sees two things. Firstly how he misses the comfort and warmth of family together at Christmas something he had not had in his very early years and also he learns about how loyal Bob is as his emplyee despite how harshly Scrooge treats him. The reaction of Mrs Cratchit brings it home to Scrooge
Bob remained loyal to Scrooge. He thought that Scooge although finacially rich was poor in life and this saddened Bob.
Coal of the time was quite expensive. Scrooge detested expense and would put some coal on his fire in his room and barely a who lump was aloud on Bob Cratchits . Scrooge would prevent Bob using coal by placing the coal scuttle in his room so Bob did not have access to it. This is why Bob is always portrayed as warming his hands on the candle at his desk to keep warm and why Mrs Cratchit hated Scrooge
