How did Joseph's brothers react when they learned that he was alive and speaking to them?

The account of Joseph revealing himself to his brothers is recorded in Genesis 45. Scripture says little of their immediate reaction, other than verse 3:
Then Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph; does my father still live?" But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed in his presence. [NKJV]
The word translated "dismayed" (the King James version uses "troubled," and the NIV says "terrified") has a wide range of meaning, including: "to disturb, alarm, terrify, hurry, be disturbed, be anxious, be afraid, be hurried, be nervous."
Considering their prior treatment of Joseph, that they were speechless because they were "terrified" seems apt.
