The professor is engaged in abstruse calculations on a blackboard, endeavoring to solve the sum expressed thus :--- 1+1. Tweedledum, gallantly going to the rescue, makes the answer 3, but the professor is dissatisfied, and, leaving the young people alone, goes for a walk in order to revolve the problem. Every black surface which presents itself he employs as a blackboard - a door, the back of a wardrobe which a workman is carrying, &c, being drawn into use, with results which are the reverse of pleasant for the professor when the owners discover what he is up to. Finally, he sets to work on the back of a carriage, and when it drives off follows at top speed, still figuring. The professor survives all kinds of collisions before the vehicle comes to a standstill, and then he gets the greatest shock of all, for the door opens and out steps his daughter and Tweedledum, whom he had imagined safe at home.
