"Do you really scrub the floors?" he demanded "I mean you yourself down on your knees, with a pail and water and scrubbing brush?" Sister Anne raised her beautiful eyebrows and laughed at him. "We do that when we first come here," she said "when we are probationers. Is there a newer way of scrubbing floors?" "And these awful patients," demanded Sam "do you wait on them?
