\\\"a dispirited and divided Party\\\"
\\\"reacted to the crisis with listless resignation\\\"
filled with melancholy and despondency ;
\\\"gloomy at the thought of what he had to face\\\"
\\\"gloomy predictions\\\"
\\\"a gloomy silence\\\"
\\\"took a grim view of the economy\\\"
\\\"the darkening mood\\\"
\\\"lonely and blue in a strange city\\\"
\\\"depressed by the loss of his job\\\"
\\\"a dispirited and resigned expression on her face\\\"
\\\"downcast after his defeat\\\"
\\\"feeling discouraged and downhearted\\\"
