Wolcott was engaged with the camera, I busied myself in polishing the silver plate, or rather silver plated copper; but ere reaching the end preparatory to iodizing, I found I had nearly or quite removed the silver surface from off the plate, and that being the best piece of sliver-plated copper to be found, the first remedy at hand that suggested itself, was a burnisher, and a few strips were quickly burnished and polished.
The four others, the burnisher, his wife, his sister-in-law and his little boy, stood about in a half-circle behind him, seeing to it that he did the work properly, giving orders as to how he should proceed. "Now, be sure you get everything out that's under there," said the burnisher. "Ouf! how it smells! They made a regular dump heap of it."
Their officer is with them in the morning, to see that they brush the scurf out of their horses' manes and put the burnisher over the backs of the buckles; he puts his nose into their room at dinner-time to ask if there are any complaints, and withdraws it almost before it is recognised by the men, as if the odour of the Irish stew disagreed with him.
And the grand crash from the organ at the close, made more solemn by the fact that the church door was thrown wide open, so that the whole street took part in the family ceremony the music passing through the vestibule at the same time with the procession the exclamations of the crowd, and a burnisher in an ample lute-string apron remarking in a loud voice, "The groom isn't handsome, but the bride's as pretty as a picture."
The bird repeated its lamentable cry, "My strength!" and the youth proceeded with increased vehemence: "It would really be better that you should throw your vice and your graver and your burnisher, and all that heap of dainty tools, into the sea, and carve an Atlas such as we have heard you talk about ever since we could first speak Greek. Come, set to work on a colossus!

She opened its door to show her husband, but all at once straightened up, exclaiming, "Well, dear me suz did you ever see anything like that?" The cubby under the sink was abominably dirty. Vandover had altogether forgotten it. The little burnisher himself bent down and peered in. "Oh, that'll never do!" he cried. "Has that man gone home yet? He mustn't; he's got to clean this out first!"
John Acherius, in 1399, observes, too, that "care must be taken as regards the situation, because windy weather is a hindrance, unless the gilder is in an enclosed place, and if the air is too dry, the colour cannot hold the gold under the burnisher."
She yawned; she palavered and ended by opening the door to a tall, burly fellow with an unkempt beard, who said to her: "Show your hands! You've got no needle pricks on them: you don't work. Now then, dress!" "But I'm not a dressmaker; I'm a burnisher," Satin brazenly declared. Nevertheless, she dressed with much docility, knowing that argument was out of the question.
