Solution
It was a temptation to keep Tricki as a permanent guest. It was because Mrs. Pumphrey started sending fresh eggs, two dozen at a time. The staff of Mr. Herriot ate these eggs. There came bottles of wine and the like. It was really a great thing for them. Mr. Herriot does not give these to Tricki.
