Robert "Bob" Cratchit is a fictional character, the abused,
underpaid clerk of Ebenezer Scrooge in the Charles Dickens story A Christmas
Carol. Cratchit is repeatedly described as
"little", and clothes himself in a tattered white comforter, not being able to
afford a coat.
Though Cratchit is treated poorly by Scrooge, and, with a weekly salary of "but
fifteen, bob is not given wages enough to feed his family a proper
Christmas dinner, Cratchit remains loyal to his boss, even in face of the
protestations of his wife. It is partly through concern for the plight of
Cratchit's youngest son, the frail and crippled Tiny Tim, that Scrooge makes the transformation from miser to
philanthropist, offering Cratchit a raise and "discussion of his affairs".
