Summary[]
Little Miss Late is late for everything. From holidays, to chores, to fun activities. She also can't find a job. She tries to work in a bank, but by the time she gets there, the bank has closed. She tries being a waiter, but Mr. Greedy ends up leaving in hunger. She tries to be a secretary for Mr. Snooty, but he goes home late. The job she gets is as a servant for Mr. Lazy. Because Mr. Lazy does everything much later than most people due to being lazy, this lines up perfectly with Little Miss Late, as she does everything later as well.
