What does “settling emotion” mean?
I looked at her mouth for an expression that could give me a clue to what she felt; I watched her eyes for some tell-tale flash, some hint of dismay or bitterness; I scanned her brow for any passing line that might indicate a settling emotion.
Excerpt from
The Moon and Sixpence
W Somerset Maugham
