Hello everybody and have a lovely day~ I can’t work out these words below: Tom nervously looked at aunt paulie's face, but it told him nothing. he said “I did want to go swimming but I had to go to school” aunt Polly felt tom's shirt collar. it was dry, and for a minute she just stared at Tom. (The adventures of Tom Sawyer; Little fox audio book) My questions are: #1: What did author exactly want to say in 'but it told him nothing? Did Tom think there were no problems or have no idea? #2: What did ‘just’ in the last sentence exactly mean? Thank you for your help~
