'How, Jerry? What on earth do you mean? To lose your right arm must have been a frightful bit of bad luck! Alick spoke in astonishment, but with a certain amount of respect for one who had had such a large experience as the bird-trainer. 'There ain't no such thing as luck, either good or bad, Jerry took out his pipe to say. ''Tis God's will; that's the properest word for't not luck.
Meantime, while all Northbourne, in its genuine affection for Miss Theedory, hung expectantly on the issues of life or death for who could say which it might be? Jerry Blunt was quietly making his preparations for pursuing his new calling of bird-trainer.
He remembered that the morrow, the birthday, was Wednesday, and it was on that day he had bound himself to go to Brattlesby Woods with Jerry Blunt, the bird-trainer, defying his tutor in the teeth to do so.

'Well, you'll see! was the quietly spoken prediction; for Jerry Blunt had fully determined to be a bird-trainer, and the pupils he was in search of were young bullfinches.
Well, but perhaps you didn't know that he has set up as a bird-trainer, because he can't do any work since he lost his right arm, and he is bound to make a living somehow. Jerry told Ned Dempster that he was going to Brattlesby Woods all day Wednesday to seek for young bullfinches, and he also said that we might go with him, if we cared to, and help search the nests.
