The creaking cart had passed; it was yet early for traffic, and Dick presently came upon a wine-shop, a bakery, a blacksmith's shop, laundry, and a somewhat pretentious cafe and hotel in a broader space which marked the junction of another road.
An interest must be stirred of a deeper and broader nature than that which such a casual manner of advertising could be expected to engender. "How'll we do it?" demanded Jennie, with as much solemnity as it was possible for her rosy, round face to express.
The genius of Shakespeare lay in his power to so use the real and individual facts of life as to raise in the minds of his readers a broader and nobler conception of human life than they had conceived before.
The carriage overtook them in a rather isolated place and stopped at their side, in obedience to the will of Miss Church-Member. "Can it possibly be that I meet two of my church officers at this unexpected time and place? How came it about that you also have chosen this 'Broader and Better Way' to Heaven?"
"He'll be edging away from you, not knowing what moment you'll twig him, and it will spoil the work. You can't give him a good fireman's lift if he's hanging back."

The Vikings, as we have seen, anticipated by centuries some of the finest models of the modern world. The hulls of Cabot, Columbus, and Cartier were broader in the beam, much bluffer in the bow, besides being full of top-hamper on the deck.
