Sarah Waters Quotes
She Worked Briskly And Efficiently, Taking Her Brush And Pan From The Drawing-room To The Top Of The Stairs And Making Her Way Back Down, A Step At A Time; After That She Filled A Bucket With Water, Fetched Her Kneeling-mat, And Began To Wash The Hall Floor. Vinegar Was All She Used. Soap Left Streaks On The Black Tiles. The First, Wet Rub Was Important For Loosening The Dirt, But It Was The Second Bit That Really Counted, Passing The Wrung Cloth Over The Floor In One Supple, Unbroken Movement ... There! How Pleasing Each Glossy Tile Was. The Gloss Would Fade In About Five Minutes As The Surface Dried; But Everything Faded. The Vital Thing Was To Make The Most Of The Moments Of Brightness. There Was No Point Dwelling On The Scuffs.
