In fact her stare seems less close to awe than to a mixture of astonishment and disgust. She can't imagine what you were trying to do, or what you were trying to drain. Neither can the firecrew, the pilots, the old lady passing by on the other side of the street nor her little cocker-spaniel.

The only person whose stare seems more benign is that of the patient, who won't be complaining about anything ever again. By the way, we can't imagine what you were trying to do either.
