Two or three of the naval cadets smiled broadly at hearing the title bestowed on a boy younger than many of themselves. "No levity, gentlemen," broke in Ensign Trahern, rather sternly. "Mr. Benson is captain to his own chief engineer." Jack waited until he saw the signal flags break out at the foretop of the "Hudson." It was an inquiry as to whether he was prepared for diving.
She said it as broadly as she could, and you do not know how broadly Yorkshire sounds until you have heard some one speak it. Colin began to laugh. "What are you doing?" he said. "I never heard you talk like that before. How funny it sounds." "I'm givin' thee a bit o' Yorkshire," answered Mary triumphantly. "I canna' talk as graidely as Dickon an' Martha can but tha' sees I can shape a bit.
This may broadly be called an historical work, but it was history treated in a style of great latitude, the meagre, disconnected method of the annalists alternating with digressions into all kinds of subjects geography, ethnography, reminiscences of his own travels and experiences, and the politics and social life of his own and earlier times.
The method employed appears to me hardly to fulfil the conditions of scientific experiment. Broadly speaking, what is done is, that a set of questions are asked of various people, their answers are recorded, and likewise their own accounts, based upon introspection, of the processes of thought which led them to give those answers.

All the next day the wind was in our favor, and we arrived at Palermo an hour before sunset.
This may be broadly seen in the slow and painful development of industry and science as compared to the easy dominance of warfare throughout all history until our own times. The effect of all this ultra masculine competition upon health and beauty is but too plainly to be seen. Among men the male idea of what is good looking is accentuated beyond reason.

The Secretary of War was broadly hinted at in Halleck's letter, but when Mr. Stanton visited Sherman at Savannah, the latter understood that his mind was disabused of any unfavorable impressions he may have had.

The newcomer paused in the doorway for an instant, evidently to add the finishing touch to a conversation previously begun. "Well, I tell you, Ezra," he called, over his shoulder, "if it's too deep to wade, maybe I can swim. Fat floats, they tell me, and Abbie says I'm gettin' fleshier every day. So long." He closed the door and, smiling broadly, swung down the aisle.
