Lesson Sixty Part One Too early and too late
Why did the young girl miss the train?
Punctuality is a neccessary habit in all public affairs in civilized society. Without it, nothing could ever be brought to a conclusion, everything would be in a state of chaos. Only in a sparsely populated rural community, it is possible to disregard it. In ordinary living, there can be some tolerance of unpunctuality. The inteluctual who is working on some abstruse problem, has everything coordinated and organized, for the matter in hand. He is therefore forgiven if late for a dinner party. But people are often reproached for unpunctuality, when their fault is cutting things fine. It is hard for an energetic, quick-minded people to waste time, so they are often tempted to finish a job before setting out to keep an appointment. If no accidents occur on the way, like punctured tyres, diversions of traffic, sudden descent of fog, they will be on time.
