Where was the use, originally, in rushing this whole globe through in six days?
It is likely that if more time had been taken in the first place, the world
would have been made right, and this ceaseless improving and repairing would
not be necessary now. But if you hurry a world or a house, you are nearly sure
to find out by and by that you have left out a towhead, or a broom-closet, or
some other little convenience, here and there, which has got to be supplied,
no matter how much expense or vexation it may cost.
