            Passing 
              the Time of Day by John Buxton
            Time passes 
              in different ways. In our modern times, life is governed by the 
              clock. Our goal is to become more efficient. In the 18th century, 
              the quality of one's life was measured with regard to the manner 
              of the achievement. For a washerwoman, time passes slowly, the work 
              is hard, even while the guns of war are at rest. The time for fighting 
              will come soon enough, but for now a Highlander officer and his 
              subordinate welcome the quiet moments. Engaged in pleasant conversation, 
              they are simply Passing the Time of Day.
