He countenanced a mere smile which altered further into a wry, contorted, and ungainly expression that expressed little beyond the awkward fidgetiness of wanting to withdraw from social interaction.
Henry promptly stood up and then Lieutenant Diégo Bernal, standing by the side of him, was about a head the shorter. Then the young lieutenant made a wry face. "And I have drunk wine all my life," he said plaintively, "and he has drunk only water!" The two sat down again, and the others laughed.

I never heard such daft-like rubbish in my life.
He sniffed of the draught, made a wry face and tossed it, glass and all, over the side into the sea. Then he turned on his heel and went into the foc'sle.

Sir Henry made a wry face. "It seems to me that your outlook is a trifle superficial, dear," he grumbled. "However now what the dickens is the matter?"
