Help please!

Can anyone think of another way of saying leer/smirk/grin? I've got the Master leering and smirking and grinning a lot and I'd like to find some other ways of saying it.

Bloomin' Thesaurus is no help, because it can't think outside the box. I just wondered if any of my real live friends could help! :-)

ahh, I see what you need now. You could use smirk, sneer, leer, etc and also describe the smile in different ways. Something like: Jack see's the Master's cold and calculating smile, The Master's sardonic grin, his malicious smile, etc

Thanks - yeah, I'm veering towards smiling/grinning in different ways.

Though as I said to Becky above, I've made it harder for myself by writing it from the Master's POV - because he would be more likely to say "I leer at him" than "I give him a cold and calculating smile" iyswim.

Ah well, I'm getting some more ideas, thanks to you lot. And there's going to be loads of editing needed when I finally get to the end of this chapter anyway, so I can move descriptions round as I need to then!

Ooh, actually, 'malicious' is a good word. Thank you!
