Miss McMillan, as most women after a certain age, was very observant and curious. And her curiosity usually focused on a very important point, at least one she considered very important - facial expressions. In her mind, people's facial expressions were a door into their feelings. And that was something Miss McMillan was very interested in. By deciphering one's feelings, she though, she could know when to push a little further to get what she wanted and when to retreat to try again later. Evidently, all those thoughts and considerations were kept to herself at all times.<br/><br/>As she followed this line of thought, she kept partial attention on the tutor. She could see that her reasoning, or any other reason he had, was working to her advantage. When he said he hoped she would enjoy the book, the girl knew she had won. Or at least that was how she felt. "Thank you, sir. I will surely enjoy it very much". Deciding to take one step ahead, she used the opportunity Mister Ray provided by opening himself up to questions. "In fact, I do, sir. May I ask for your help if something in the book is beyond my understanding?"
