But there's no hurry.

Time itself has got to wait on the greatest country in the whole of God's Universe.

We shall be giving the word for everything: industry, trade, law, journalism, art, politics, and religion, from Cape Horn clear over to Smith's Sound, and beyond, too, if anything worth taking hold of turns up at the North Pole.

And then we shall have the leisure to take in hand the outlying islands and continents of the earth.

We shall run the world's business whether the world likes it or not.
