Looking about him as though expecting to see some person standing near, he heard a voice seemingly from above his head, and he was told to listen. When the voice of the tempter had spoken discouragingly on the way from Mr. Kunz's, Edwin had felt no fear, but now a fear that caused him to tremble crept over him.
The guard shook his head discouragingly. "Well, it'll take a bit of time, miss. Whoever did, the job did it thoroughly, and even when we get clear we'll have to go slow and keep a sharp look-out." "Then I shall miss my connection at Exeter on to Abbencombe by the South-Western?" "I'm afraid you will, miss." Her face fell.
Had she herself not gazed into this distorting glass? The tune of her life had never sounded so discouragingly faint and inutile. Perhaps she did not posses the higher qualities that could extort from a nature so rich and various as Octave Kéroulan's its noblest music! Perhaps his wife had told the truth to Mrs. Sheldam and had lied to her!
It may be that it is discouragingly difficult for him to write at first; but let him persevere, with patience and firm resolve, and he will prove to himself that "practice makes perfect." There is no better exercise for his mind than this, and none better adapted to inspire him with a dauntless resolve to acquire knowledge.
Pepper shook his head discouragingly, and sought in every way to dissuade me from the step. But nothing Pepper said could turn me a hair's-breadth from my purpose. I had little time to spare, for the advertisement stated explicitly that applications were to be made in person within four days.

Only in two or three instances for example, in my account of Henrietta Manners have I ventured to hint definitely at anything pertaining to the shame and iniquity underlying a discouragingly large part of the work-girls' world. In my magazine articles I was obliged to leave out all reference to this tabooed topic.
All this sounded very sensible to me, though it sounded discouragingly; I found, however, that Bulstrode did not entertain these feelings alone, but that most around me were of the same way of thinking.
Dignity is commanding and useful, and there is no getting on without it, as respects the men; but if you would be thoroughly esteemed by a woman, it is necessary to condescend a little on occasions." "Ah's me, Sergeant, I sometimes fear it will never do." "Why do you think so discouragingly of a matter on which I thought both our minds were made up?"
"Oh, if I might only keep this one," she said, "and perhaps we could find homes for the others." "I guess Mis' Otway ain't goin' to allow three cats under foot," said Heppy discouragingly. And indeed when Marian made her request to keep one of the kittens she was straightway denied. "You may keep two cats," said Mrs. Otway, "but no more will I have.
But when the stolid Dutchman in charge of the telegraph office saw my dispatches he shrugged his shoulders discouragingly. "It is not possible to send them from here," he explained. "We have no instrument here but have to telephone everything to Hulst, eight miles away. As I do not understand English it would be impossible to telephone your dispatches."
