You wouldn't either if you had seen him then, because he just sat down and cried, not as you and I do, you know, but with great tears running through his fingers and heaves of his shoulders.

Bobby leaned over and his lips just touched her cool smooth cheek. They walked on in silence. The next day Celia was gone. There remained as consolation after this heartbreaking defection but two interesting things in life the printing press and the Flobert Rifle. Somehow the week dragged through until Sunday, when Bobby duly scrubbed and dressed, had to go to church with his father and mother.
The utter misery of his existence seemed to be brought into full relief by the intense light which inundated the landscape. He saw his twenty years of cafe life dull, monotonous, heartbreaking.

If any illusions about the stage had survived her Wapello days, they would have vanished in the first six months of her dramatic career.
Our losses have been frightful. All the generals Sir John Campbell, Lacy, yea, and Shadford are killed, and ever so many more. It's quite heartbreaking." "And will nothing more be tried to-day?" "I fear not, although Lord Raglan is quite ready; but the French are very dispirited. Goodness knows how it will end! The only slice of luck is Eyre's getting in here; but I doubt if he can remain."
Don't you take on now, dear don't you," for Bet had flung her head down on her hands, and was giving way to the most terrible, heartbreaking sobs.
