Harry was openly vexed. "Well, either way! would any true man leave that woman behind?" and I tried to put in that that was what I had been leading up to; but it makes me smile yet, to recall how jauntily she discomfited us both. She triumphed with the airy ease of a king-bird routing a crow in the upper blue.
And the Lord discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
He went into the house discomfited, though chuckling a little at my vehemence; but at least I have made it for ever impossible for him to watch his hens without an occasional glance at the cocks. July 12th. O the pathos of a poultry farm!
This done, Nicholas and his men quickly retreated, and the door was closed and barred upon the enraged and discomfited knight. Many hours had passed by, and night had come on a night profoundly dark.

"Will you, Sammy? Try it, old boy."
He illustrated his point by rolling over into one of the nearest hammocks which had already been hung and laying his head down, when, of course, the machine bulged away from his black face, and the discomfited millions kept thrusting their probosces and, doubtless, making faces at him ineffectually. "But how if you should want to roll about in your sleep?" asked Pedro.
But she was sadly discomfited by it, understanding just enough of the grievance in hand to think that her daughter was neglectful of those duties which she herself had always regarded as paramount to all others; nor could Hester convince her that Philip had not meant what he said; neither could she turn the poor old woman's thoughts from the words which had caused her distress.
