She had finished polishing the handle, so she placed it carefully back on the table and cleaned up her polishing area and wrote the rest of the steps into her parchment.

After a few minutes she grabbed a clean rag and began doing the same thing she was doing with the polishing cloth. She was buffing the polish out of the handle, using small circular motions. It took so long, maybe she had used too much polish. Every time she pulled the rag away to see how she was doing, it looked smudged and almost like it was spreading further around her broom, which isn't what she wanted. She wanted it to come off and show her broom as a shiny handle.
