Excerpt from Haven't-Time and Don't-Be-in-a-Hurry, and Other Stories About eleven, when it is half-past twelve; or, Near one o'clock, when it lacks only a few minutes of two. When the breakfast-bell rings in the morning, Mr. Haven't-time, who is already dressed and shaved, and has been walking the floor of the nursery, where his wife is busy dressing the children, starts instantly for the dining-room, and, if Mrs. Haven't time doesn't follow on the instant, pours out his own coffee, and ten to one, is half through his breakfast before the rest of the family are fairly gathered at the table.
