Just fancy teaching bullfinches to sing the motives of 'The Ring, It seemed to me I was in an enchanted garden. But tell me, why, when you had taught them, did you let them fly away?" "Well, you see, they can only remember two tunes. If you teach them a third they forget the first two, and it seemed a pity to confuse them." "So when a bullfinch knows two motives you let him go?
Jerry did not know anything about a bill. But he had saved all the grocery slips. He had gone over to the Bullfinches' the night before and added and added. He was sure the money was the right amount. Mr. Bartlett looked up the amount due in a ledger. He was a bit grumpy about having to count so much chicken feed, as he called it, as he counted the change. "It's all here," he said finally.
Leather, too, did his best to keep up appearances, and turned out in a very stud-groomish-looking, basket-button'd, brown cutaway, with a clean striped vest, ample white cravat, drab breeches and boots, that looked as though they had brushed through a few bullfinches; and so they had, but not with Leather's legs in them, for he had bought them second-hand of a pad groom in distress.
An orange-man; an emissary from Lola Montes; a dealer in piping bullfinches; and a Cardinal in disguise, with a proposal for a new loan for the Pope, were heard by turns; and each, after a rapid colloquy in his own language, was dismissed by Rafael.

The Bullfinches had an oil furnace but Jerry could see by the coal dust that there had once been coal in that bin. "I'll be bound to get my pants dirty but I guess it will brush off."
She soon found that whistling to the bullfinches in Mrs d'Urberville's room was no such onerous business when she had regained the art, for she had caught from her musical mother numerous airs that suited those songsters admirably. A far more satisfactory time than when she practised in the garden was this whistling by the cages each morning.
"Have you never heard what a sustained grape-diet will do for the bullfinches?" "Never," exclaimed the duchess. "Is that the secret of their German education?" "Apparently, for we cannot raise them to the same pitch of perfection in England." "I will try it upon mine. Every morning they shall have two big bunches." "Fresh plucked, and with the first sunlight on them. Be careful of the rules."
'Queenie dear, it is one o'clock; you may take your lesson-book, and make yourself and your doll-people tidy for dinner. Queenie obediently trotted off to the house, and the speaker continued. 'What's all this about Jerry Blunt, boys? I thought he was a sailor? What in the world has a sailor to do with training bullfinches, I want to know?
He will tell you them with enthusiasm, with passion, and will scold you too for your ignorance. Of goldfinches and bullfinches he is ready to talk endlessly, opening his eyes wide and gesticulating violently with his hands. He is only to be met here at the market in the cold weather; in the summer he is somewhere in the country, catching quails with a bird-call and angling for fish.
