When he got back to England, Hudson, his old master, said discouragingly: "Reynolds, you don't paint as well as when you left England." On the whole his reception at home, after his long absence, was not all that he could have wished, but he took a place in Leicester Square, settled down to live there for the rest of his life, and went at painting in earnest.
"One evening after the physician had spoken discouragingly, and his parents, as he perceived, were in deep distress, he was absorbed on his knees in a corner of the room in earnest prayer. His voice, though subdued almost to a whisper, was indicative of intense feeling. His parents inquired what he had been praying so earnestly for. Why, said he, that Jesus Christ would open my eyes.
In reply to my inquiries, I am glad to find that Abdurraheim Khan speaks less discouragingly of the Harood than did the Ameer at Ali-abad; he says it will be fordable for camels, and there will be no difficulty in finding nomads able to provide me an animal to cross over with.

I think perhaps we've failed the men and women of our world even more discouragingly than the men and women of the worlds I've learned to know. As your wife you might not care to have me say "

He had smoked a lot this morning. Gilbert was swift to notice the empty pouch, and offered him his. "Thanks; much obliged," "Red" said, filling his pipe. "But darn that cook, anyhow!
"Is any one likely to come this way in a boat?" asked Charley hopefully. "No," answered Toby discouragingly. "We're clost to the head o' the bay, and nobody ever comes here except Dad. We're sure in a wonderful bad fix, Charley." When the first shock at the loss of their boat had passed, youthful buoyancy of spirit asserted itself, and the two castaways looked more hopefully upon their position.
"We lost 'em, back there," Andy told her calmly when she inquired. "And as to where we're going, I don't know; as far as this lightning-wagon will take us." "This car goes clear out to the Cliffs," Mary said discouragingly. "All right. We're going out to the cliffs, then," Andy smiled blandly down upon the nodding, white feather in her hat. "But I promised Lola and Freddie "
For all that, what discouragingly small crumbs for such appallingly large birds! No wonder Pirlaps was so worried, and looked so unnaturally hurried and strenuous! "Here, Yassuh!" he called, without stopping to scold him.
