The inspector calls for the captain and gives him to understand still in a severe official manner that nothing suspicious has been found on board: then he requires the purifier, in the same manner, to declare the condition of the ship's health. With an appeal to his oath of fidelity, the purifier bears witness that every person on board, as well as the cargo, is free from infection.
But "People who live in glass houses should not throw stones" is on the right side of the account, as it discourages stone-throwing and reminds us that we are no better than our neighbors. The lesson in running brooks is that motion is a great purifier and health-producer. When the brook ceases to run, it soon stagnates.
If one's wrong habits are not corrected by one sentence, let the next be longer, or till thoroughly reformed, reform being the object aimed at. Then should we take the keepers of these rum-shops, billiard-saloons, gambling-dens and houses of ill-fame, with those of their frequenters that need be, and put them here at work, too. This would be a wonderful purifier of society.
Actually he had been, he remembered, impatient with them when first he came back from France. What folly. Americans. The very word was refreshing, was like clear water on a thirsty day. One American, even one, coming in that afternoon would have seemed to Mr. Twist a godsend, a purifier, an emollient like some blessed unction dropped from above. But none appeared; not even Mr. Ridding.
And suddenly I remembered that I was a Grand Juryman, a purifier of Society, who had brought her bill in true; and, that I might not think these thoughts unworthy of a good citizen, I turned my eyes away from her and took up my list of indictments. Yes, there she was, at least so I decided: Number 42, "Pilson, Jenny: Larceny, pocket-picking."
Was it the terrible Gregory VII, the purifier of the temple, the sovereign of kings; was it Innocent III or Boniface VIII, those masters of souls, nations, and thrones, who, armed with the fierce weapon of excommunication, reigned with such despotism over the terrified middle ages that Catholicism was never nearer the attainment of its dream of universal dominion?
The great purifier of Nature is a violent wind, which usually terminates an epidemic immediately; this would naturally carry before it all insect life with which the atmosphere might be impregnated, and the disease disappears at the same moment.
If the cable of a left-bank ship touches the cable of a right-bank vessel, the whole crew of the former is unclean, and she must lie for ten days in the middle of the stream; for the plague might pass along the ropes from one to the other, and be communicated to the whole crew. And all this is carefully watched. On each ship sits an official called a "purifier."
So when Albertinelli, while colouring with zeal a design of Baccio's, would inveigh against all monks, the Dominicans in particular, and Savonarola especially, his friend would argue that the inspired prophet was not an enemy, but a purifier and reformer of art.
"You'll allow, neighbor, that we were never nearer all going to destruction together than we were to-day." "There's some truth in that," answered Fabula. "But why should we try the experiment whether we could get drowned on St. Michael's day?" "H'm!" said Johann, and took a short pull at his brandy-flask. "What salary do you get, sir?" "Twenty kreutzers a day," answered the purifier.
