How to use downcast in a sentence?
I have often been downcast, but never in despair I regard our hiding as a dangerous adventure, romantic and interesting at the same time. In my diary I treat all the privations as amusing. I have made up my mind now to lead a different life from other girls and, later on, different from ordinary housewives. My start has been so very full of interest, and that is the sole reason why I have to laugh at the humorous side of the most dangerous moments.
Vanity Fair correspondent Katie Nicholl:
This has been a very hard few days for Kate, but she turned up and was committed to her work and duty last week, people did notice that she appeared downcast and subdued. Behind closed doors, she has been saddened, disappointed and hurt.
