I have poured cold water upon the night train to Bideford, and came near pouring some hot tears on the timetable she kindly brought me. People are going up to dress for dinner. They are God's creatures, but I do not love them. The head-waiter has just fluttered up to ask if I would like a smaller table for dinner. No table would be too small for my appetite. I said
Aunt Ruth had risen to the occasion; she was already adjusting her spectacles with trembling hands in order to explore the A B C Timetable. A very brief examination of the book showed that Claudia could not get home that night. They could only wait until morning. Claudia spent a sleepless night. She had come up to London to find a mission in life.
Still a third, through the time-study records which have been accumulated, makes out a timetable giving the proper speed for doing each element of the work. The directions of all of these men, however, are written on a single instruction card, or sheet.
"Indeed, and you did more than that. If it hadn't been for you, Mr. Damon and Koku we'd never have gotten off as soon as we did. The government is the limit for doing things, sometimes." "Bless my timetable! but I agree with you," put in Mr. Damon. "But at last we are on the way, in spite of delays."
"We have made a mistake about the railway," said the woman. "There's a train from London that we didn't notice in the timetable. They tell me down-stairs it came in more than a quarter of an hour ago. Please to come back, Miss or I fear we shall be found out." "You can go back at once, Jane," said Lucilla. "By myself?" "Yes. Thank you for bringing me here here I remain."
For some men cut thus into nature, haphazard, without care or thought, and produce perhaps a square containing an advertisement of a patent churn, a railroad timetable, and a fragment of an essay on art. Cut carefully and with selection, and you may get a poem which will soothe you like a melody.
We are most of us slackers at the bottom, and need the discipline of a timetable to keep us on the move. If I could put off writing this article till to-morrow I should easily convince myself that I hadn't time to write it to-day. The point is very well expressed in that story of the Pope who received three American visitors in turn. "How long are you staying?" he said to the first.
I got to my billet at six; there I flung off my pack, threw down my rifle, and in frenzied haste consulted a railway timetable. A slow train was due to leave our town at five minutes to seven.
She took the timetable and placed it in the desk. Brockton, who had taken up his paper again, gave an exclamation of surprise. "By George this is funny." "What?" she demanded, looking impatiently at the clock. "Speak of the devil, you know." "Who?" "Your old friend John Madison." Laura started involuntarily. She became deathly pale, and put her head on the chair-back to steady herself.
These two proposals, along with carefully-phased tax reductions for individuals, will improve both economic efficiency and tax equity. I urge the Congress to enact legislation along the lines and timetable I have proposed. The FY 1982 budget I have sent to the Congress continues our four-year policy of prudence and restraint.
