"It's not the eggs," answered Jan, "it's you." Jo was roaring with laughter. Some of the morning she had been in a woman's house listening to one of the policeman's tales of the professor, and soon the whole village was rocking with amusement at "Teshko." At last the horses arrived six miserable-looking beasts, but this time all had shoes. One was commandeered by the professor.
