All of a Flutter

Some people when they want to give you bad news don't look you in the eye. They have an uncanny ability to make their eyes disappear into the top right hand corner of their sockets, under their lids. Then they flutter the lashes very fast. Turkish bus steward was like that. The one who played in 'Sparks' and didn't like my socks.

It is all very disconcerting. You have nothing to engage with. I do not want to mock the infirmed but it is like they are having a seizure.  Of course they are not. They are just hiding: "I can't see you so you can't see me".

What you would really like to do is give them a good reason for rolling their eyes. But then that's not allowed either.
