Your nose has gotten away
(American English, 1961)
The conversation is:
Anne: These swiss boys know some tricks too.
Harry: Well, all they ever did to you was your hoot. The first time I kissed you, your nose has gotten away.
What does this expression mean? Avert?
If it's that, how can a girl avert her nose when a person is kissing her?
Is it maybe an idiom?

fivejedjonguessesNo idea. "was to hoot" instead of "was your hoot"?
The header distracted me away from the rest of the sentence, so I didn't address that issue.
