When Martha, the eldest
Cratchit child, arrives
at home for Christmas dinner, she is late because, as she says, she had
a
"'deal of work to finish up last night [...] and had to clear away this
morning
[...].'"She obviously must work quite hard for her living as she has
to stay up late to
work and get up early again to continue it.Further, the
narrator describes how happily two of
the Cratchit children go to fetch their
goose for dinner, as though it were a "phenomenon
[...] -- and in truth it
was something very like it in that house."The fact that having a
goose to eat
is so rare is another indication of the family's depressed economic

condition.Moreover, the narrator describes the goose dinner as being merely "Eked out
by
the apple-sauce and mashed potatoes," and he says that the dinner is
"sufficient"
for the entire family; the implication is that this is not
really a feast, and that what is here
has been gotten with great
difficulty.Finally, the Cratchits do not have an abundance, or even
an
adequate number, of pots and dishes: the same pot that is used for laundry must also be
used
for the dessert (i.e. "pudding") and the "family display of glass"
consists
of two tumblers and a broken custard-cup that everyone must
share.All of these descriptions and
details let us know that the family does
not have much money and that they make do with what
they have, feeling
grateful for it.
