The Gift of the Magi

Jim stopped inside the door, as immovable as a setter at the scent of quail.
His eyes were fixed upon Della, and there was an expression in them that she could not read, and it terrified her.
It was not anger, nor surprise, nor disapproval, nor horror, nor any of the sentiments that she had been prepared for.

a setter at the scent of quail : ウズラの匂いを嗅いだセッター
fix : しっかり固定する、留める
could not read : (何を考えているのか)理解できない
disapproval : 不賛成、不満、反感
sentiment : 心情、意見、感傷
