This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for dismay that I've seen before include "Affright" , "Consternation, discouragement" , "Consternation, trepidation" , "upset" , "Disappointment" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Independent, The Daily Mail, the LA Times, The Sun and The Times.
