unseen passage on punctuality is necessary
Read the passage:
Punctuality is a necessary habit in public affairs of a 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 is it possible to disregard it. In the ordinary living
there can be some tolerance of unpunctuality. The intellectual, who is working on some
abstruse problem, has everything coordinated and organized for the matter in hand. He
is therefore forgiven, inflate for the dinner party. But people are often reproached for
unpunctuality when their only fault is cutting fine. It is hard for 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 tires, diversion of
Traffic, sudden descent of fog, they will be on time. They are often more industrious,
useful citizens than those who are never late. The over-punctual can as much be a trial to
others as the unpunctual. The guest who arrives half an hour too soon is the greatest
nuisance. Some friends of my family had this irritating habit. The only thing to do was to
ask them to come half an hour later than the other guests. Then they arrived just when
we wanted them. If you are catching a train, it is. always better to be comfortably early
than even a fraction of a minute too late . Although being early may mean wasting a little
time, this will be less than if you miss the train and have to wait an hour or so for the
next one. And you avoid the frustration of arriving at the very moment when the train is
drawing out of the station and being unable to get on it. An even harder situation is to be
on the platform in a good time for a train and still to see it go off without you. Such an
experience befell a certain young girl the first time she was travelling alone. She entered
the station twenty minutes before the train was due since her parents had impressed
upon her that it would be unforgivable to miss it and cause the friends with whom she
was going to stay to meet her. She gave her luggage to a porter and showed him her
ticket. To her horror, he said that she was two hours too soon. She felt in her handbag, for
the piece of paper on which her father had written down all the details of the journey
and gave it to the porter. He agreed that a train did come into the station at the tin1e on
the paper and that it did stop, but only to take on water, not passengers. The girl asked to
see a timetable, feeling sure that her father could not have made such a mistake. The
porter went to fetch one and arrived back with the station master, who produced it with a
flourish and pointed out a microscope 'o' beside the time of the arrival of the train at his
station. This little 'o' indicated that the train only stopped for water. Just at that moment, the train came into the station. The girl, tears streaming down her face, begged to beallowed to slip into the guard's van. But the station master was adamant: rules could not
be broken. And she had to watch that train disappear towards her destination while she
was left behind
