'MORE ABOUT THAN SHORTLY' and 'HIS HEART ON HIS ELEEVE'

Hello friends, I would like to know the exactly meaning of these two expressions:
'more about that shortly'
and other this 'his heart on his sleeve' on this sentence:
'He didn't wear his HEART ON HIS SLEEVE. I never saw him cry.'
Thanks in advance, Any.

Hello, Anon, "shortly" means "soon", "in a short while"; so it means "you'll get/I'll give you further information about the topic in a short while". When you wear your heart on your sleeve, it means that you make your feelings and/or opinions obvious to the others. Si your sentence means: "He never let his feelings show".
