Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold im the following sentences?
She advanced, light, tall, very upright, to be greeted at once by button-faced Miss Pym, whose hands were always bright red, as if they had been stood in cold water with the flowers.
button faced Miss Pym = Miss Pym with a face of an oyster
These "leftovers" became the designs for hats and the tops of dresses for these button faced girls that she designed for the place-cards.
button faced girls = plain faced girls
In this, a small steel button faced with cork rested on the surface of a rotating glass disc treated with resin.
button faced = ?
Thanks for your efforts.
Regards,
V.
