Sporadic efforts have hitherto been made for the proper treatment of this letter of the alphabet with individual success, especially with those who have been in England, or have known English men and women of the broad-gauge variety.
The ordinary broad-gauge railway ran from Cairo to Balliana, where a river base was established. From Balliana to Assuan reinforcements and supplies were forwarded by Messrs. Cook's fleet of steamers, by barges towed by small tugs, and by a number of native sailing craft. A stretch of seven miles of railway avoids the First Cataract, and joins Assuan and Shellal.
There were four hours' train on the broad-gauge railway, an hour's steamer to cross the Ganges, ten hours' train on a narrow-gauge railway, three hours' propelling by poles in a native house-boat down a branch of the Brahmaputra, six miles of swamp to traverse on elephants, thirty miles to travel on the Maharajah's private two-and-a-half-feet-gauge toy railway, and, to conclude with, a twenty-five-mile drive.
I do not mean to say that all Texas Baptists are bad; at least 50 per cent. of them are broad-gauge, tolerant, intelligent; the remainder are small-bore bigots upon whom nature put heads, as Dean Swift would say, "Solely for the sake of conformity."

"Forty-eight years," repeated McKay "and the work of the Hun is nearly done a wide highway under the earth's surface flanked by four lines of rails broad-gauge tracks everything now working, all rolling-stock and electric engines moving smoothly and swiftly....

I mean that, since we're man and wife, it's up to you to be a little more broad-gauge in your views." "In other words, you want me to ignore your conduct. Is that it? I'm afraid we can't argue that, Ed."
Sam was broad-gauge in everything he did. He sold his goods at the marked price, for cash only got a decent profit and told you so. Why shouldn't he? He had a sense of style. He was keenly alive to the artistry of clothes and his enthusiasm was contagious. Sam was firmly convinced that a man has to spend money to make money in the clothing business.
