Answer 1

Explanation:

The loaves were bought by some Paskine or Bastine, the maid-servant of the house! What we longed for were those bread-bangles which we chose carefully. Sometimes it was sweet bread of special make. The narrator recalls that the baker acted as their friend and companion during their childhood days in Goa.
