He wished it all the modern speed.

“I reverently believe that the Maker who made us all makes everything in New England but the weather. I dont know who makes that, but I think it must be raw apprentices in the weather-clerks factory who experiment and learn how.... In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather inside of four-and-twenty hours.”
