Based on the given story, the tragedy and comedy degrees can be evaluated as follows:

**Tragedy Degree:**
- There are minimal tragic elements in the story. Although the setting and Clara’s old Victorian house have a melancholic atmosphere, it does not contain any significant losses, setbacks, or emotional turmoil. Instead, it focuses on research, collaboration, and eventual companionship.

**Comedy Degree:**
- The story has a heartwarming and uplifting tone, marked by collaboration, friendship, and eventual romantic partnership. There are subtle light-hearted moments, especially in the evolving relationship between Clara and Thomas. However, it lacks overt comedic elements or an extremely happy, humorous ending.

Considering these points, the scores would be:

```json
{
  "TragedyDegree": 1,
  "ComedyDegree": 6
}
```
