About the characters
Martha owned a bakery to which Mr. Blumberger came often to buy stale bread. By the looks of Mr. Blumberger, Martha mistook him to be a poor painter. She was attracted by his good manners and was sorry for him. Her heart longed to help him eat a good meal.
Reason for Blumberger's anger
So one day, without Blumberger's knowledge, Martha added some fresh butter to the stale bread. Blumberger had been working for three months, on a prize competition of drawing a plan for a new city hall.
He had been using the stale bread to erase pencil markings of his drawing. It was almost complete but because of the butter in the stale bread, the whole architect was spoiled. So he was very angry with Martha.
There was a little bakery that was just around the corner is of Miss Martha Meacham.
You need to take three steps that have a single bell at the door which rings on opening it up.
The main reason for the anger towards Miss Martha was that she was being disrespectful to Blumberger.
However, she was interested in someone but she never got married.
