"As he bent his head in his most courtly manner, there was a secrecy in his smiling face, and he conveyed an air of mystery to those words, which struck the eyes and ears of his nephew forcibly. At the same time, the thin straight lines of the setting of the eyes, and the thin straight lips, and the markings in the nose, curved with a sarcasm that looked handsomely diabolic" Book 2, Chpt 9, Pg.
This quote means as the Marquis smiled and bowed, his face look quite suspicious. There was something mysterious about the words he last said. This bothered the nephew for he couldn't escape the image and how handsome yet how evil the Marquis looked all at the same time.
