Answers
Answer:
1.Pumphrey thought that Tricki was suffering from malnutrition. To bring Tricki back to normal health, Mrs. Pumphrey fed Tricki something extra in-between his meals. She gave him some malt and cod-liver oil, and a bowl of Horlicks at night to make him sleep.
2.The parting scene between Tricki and Mrs. Pumphrey was quite melodramatic. As soon as the narrator told her the dog needed to be hospitalized for a few days, she swooned. She was reluctant to send Tricki to the narrator's hospital.
3.Herriot is tempted to keep Tricki as a permanent guest because of the good food and wine he is enjoying in Trick's name. He does not want to lose the luxurious inflow of fresh eggs, wine and brandy.
4.Mrs Pumphrey thought that the dog's recovery was “a triumph of surgery” because in two weeks, Tricki had recovered completely and had been transformed into a hard-muscled animal. ... She declared Tricki's recovery as a triumph of surgery to express her happiness and gratitude towards the doctor.
5.: No, the narrator is not as rich as Tricki's mistress, Mrs Pumphery.
