Answer 2

Paskine and Bastine are the maid-servants in ‘A Baker from Goa’.  

The author uses the names Paskine and Bastine as a general way of referring to the maid-servants. During the author’s childhood, the maid-servants in households in Goa had such names. That is why the author is using these two names to humourously refer to all the maids in general. The baker used to hand over the loaves of bread to the maids who had names like Paskine and Bastine.
