My only thought is why do her mom and neighbor look startled? I used to sing outdoors often when young (not directly to a tree) but just about anywhere. It does seem a curious choice of song…
I agree with jhouck - but there’s also a fake-presentation mask that some people wear that’s purely psychological. On Avis’s face we can certainly see the difference between her automatic smug grin and her spontaneous startled grimace. (I think the Mom is not startled as much as like “Hm, what could it be this time…” - and if she is startled, it’s as much at Avis as at Ruthie!)
Wouldn’t the facelift type have the money and inclination to live her days among less “ordinary” people than this neighborhood offers?

I wouldn’t say Miss Mavis looks startled – she always looks like that. One too many facelifts, imho…
