Lying high against the pillows, she studied her face.
The rest had done wonders. Pain makes you set your jaw, your eyes grow falsely bright with anxiety, and the muscles over the temples and along the cheeks, even the weak muscles near to the nose, stand out a little, and that is the look of sickness and of resistance to suffering.
The difference in her rested face was amazing.
