But Field-marshal Mack, passing from exalted over-confidence to a profound disheartenment, surrendered to Napoleon, who had now, in three weeks, scattered, captured, or destroyed eighty thousand Austrians and freed Bavaria, where he reinstalled the Elector. We shall see, in 1813, this favour repaid by the most odious treachery.
Part of the time I couldn't get enough to eat; and there were cold and blustering nights when I had not the few cents which would have given me a bed in a cheap lodging-house. It was in this deepest abyss in the valley of disheartenment that I met a former prison-mate named Kellow; a forger whose time of release from the penitentiary coincided nearly with my own. The meeting was wholly by chance.
"Good lack! not I. If thou art so troubled thereanent, thou wert best ask my father. Maybe he wist not. I cannot say." "It must have been sore disheartenment," said Norman, pityingly, "to win nearly away, and then be brought back." "Ay, marry; and then was she had up to London afore the King's Grace, and had into straiter prison than aforetime.
The castle was patently strong strong enough to excuse any disheartenment. Scarcely a window pierced its narrow butt-end, four stories high, under which the steps wound. It ended just where they met the towpath, and from its angle sprang a brick wall dead-blank, at least twelve feet high, which ran for eighty or ninety yards along the straight line of the path.
It may well be imagined what the effect of hunger, cold, and the disheartenment consequent on such conditions of work and the seeming hopelessness of the position have on the productivity of labor, the fall in which reacts on all the industries, on transport, on the general situation and so again on itself.

Sometimes waves of disheartenment came on cloudy days of testing, when the sun was hidden and life looked cheerless and hard.

Her courageous toil had gone for nothing her mother would never even know of it; and it seemed to her in that moment of deep disheartenment as if everything she tried was to be equally ineffectual.
The Englishman who, when at home, has himself lived, not entirely secluded, but in a measure shut off from contact with other peoples by continual going abroad and never-ceasing friction with his neighbours, by perpetual disheartenment with the perplexities of his colonial empire, has become less of a critic than a grumbler; and to do him justice he is, in speech, infinitely more contemptuous of his own government than he is of the American or any other.
Professor Marshall drew a great breath of disheartenment. "As long as I can live without thinking of that element in American life it's all right. But when anything brings it home like this today I feel that the mean compromise we all make must be a disintegrating moral force in the national character.
"It corresponds with those in the cartridges found in his stand drawer, and is of the number used with this pistol." Her head fell forward on her hands; her eyes sought the floor; her whole attitude expressed disheartenment. Seeing it, the coroner grew still more grave.
