Your question is quite confusing; however, my guess is that it is a reference to the visit (during the journey of the ghost of Christmas present and Scrooge) to the Cratchit family household. The reason why I think this is because of the word “they’re.” The quotation I believe you are referring to is as follows:
His active little crutch was heard upon the floor, and back came Tiny Tim before another word was spoken,...
Your question is quite confusing; however, my guess is that it is a reference to the visit (during the journey of the ghost of Christmas present and Scrooge) to the Cratchit family household. The reason why I think this is because of the word “they’re.” The quotation I believe you are referring to is as follows:
His active little crutch was heard upon the floor, and back came Tiny Tim before another word was spoken, escorted by his brother and sister to his stool before the fire.
In this instance, Tiny Tim is “walking” with the help of his crutch and is “escorted” by “his brother and sister.” This indicates Peter and either Martha or Belinda. We are not told which sister is helping Tiny Tim. The reason why they are walking with Tiny Tim over to the fire is twofold. The first and less significant reason in that the three are going to help their mother with the food and sample the cooking. The most important reason, though, is that Tiny Tim is a cripple and needs help getting places. Even while using his crutch, Tiny Tim is prone to falling down due to his weakness and fragility.
