L60-2: Too earlyand too late

They are oftenmore industrious, useful citizens than those who are never late. Theover-punctual can be as much a trial to others as the unpunctual. The guest whoarrives half an hour too soon is the greatest nuisance. Some friends of myfamily had this irritating habit. The only thing to do was ask them to comehalf an hour later than the other guests. Then they arrived just when we wantedthem. If you are catching a train, it is always better to be comfortably earlythan even a fraction of a minute too late. Although being early may meanwasting a little time, this will be less than if you miss the train and have towait an hour or more for the next one; and you avoid the frustration ofarriving at the very moment when the train is drawing out of the station andbeing unable to get on it.
