      We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn't even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed
at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched, mouth open in surprise,
Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift
and took out a wet mop (拖把). She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded
and said," Very dirty floors."
      "Yes, I'm glad they've finally decided to clean them." The nurse answered, she looked at Mum Strangely
and said, "But aren't you working late?" 
      Mum just pushed harder, each swipe of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched
until she was out of sight and the nurse hand turned to writing in the big book.
      After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shinning. She quickly put the mop back and took my
hand. As we turned to go out of the door, Mum bowed politely to the nurse and said, "Thank you."
      Outside, Mum told me, "Dagmar is fine. No fever."
      "You saw her, Mum?"
      "Of course. I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop
worrying as well. It's a fine hospital. But such floors! A mop is no good. You need a brush."

     One afternoon, when the lessons were over, John and Mike Ford did not go home. They stayed at
school to help their teacher. Their teacher was starting a library in the school and the boys helped him to
carry some books. They worked for one hour. Then the teacher said, "Thank you, boys. We will finish
the work tomorrow. Now you must go home."
     When the boys got home, it was seven. It was dark outside but there was a light inside their home
and the door was open. They could see a man inside.
