MARTHA'S VINEYARD ON HANDS AND KNEES

While staying at the Harbourview in Edgartown, Massachusetts, Marash Girl had the opportunity to talk with one of the "cleaning" ladies . . . Why?  She (the cleaning lady) was washing the bathroom floor on her (the cleaning lady's) hands and knees.  "Why?" Marash Girl asked.  Why, indeed!  "Don't they have mops here?"

"We can get the floor cleaner this way."

Checking with the desk clerk, the answer to her query was confirmed.  "Oh, we have plenty of mops," he answered, "but the ladies tell me that they can get the floor cleaner on their hands and knees.  In fact, my wife tells me the same thing!"
