Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency ‧ 1987
Mason gave him another grim look from a vast repertoire he had developed which ranged from very, very blackly grim indeed at the bottom of the scale, all the way up to tiredly resigned and only faintly grim, which he reserved for his children's birthdays.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Mason’s expressions range from deeply grim to only slightly less grim. Saving his mildest look for his children’s birthdays makes the description funny by showing how little room his emotional range leaves for cheerfulness.
