Answer 1

Answer:

The narrator was tempted to keep Tricki as a permanent guest because Mrs Pumphrey had started bringing around two dozen eggs at a time to build Tricki's strength. Later, she started sending bottles of wine to help enriching Tricki's blood.

Answer 2

Answer: 4. because Mrs. Pumphrey sent more than enough food and the they enjoyed it.

Explanation:

Mrs Pumphrey was a rich lady who was over-doing in nature. She cared for her silky little dog too much. One day Tricki, the dog, went ill and was sent to "hospital for sake of surgery."

Mrs Pumphrey started to sob and went dozen times a day and brought,

1. Two dozen eggs at a time – was consumed by the narrator every morning.
2. Wine – taken by Narrator after lunch.
3. Brandy – at Night.

So, we can conclude that Dr Herriot was a clever man and he didn't want to lose all those privileges.
