Explanation:
He looked up in my face with all the tokens of gratitude and thankfulness that could appear in any countenance.
Answer: These lines occur in Chapter 21 of Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. Here Crusoe speaks about the expression of "gratitude and thankfulness” of the poor Spaniard when he was given well and nourishment.
Crusoe and Friday saved two other victims one of whom is Friday's father and the other being the Spaniard from the clutch of the cannibals. The victims were miserably weak because of their age and the rude treatment of the cannibals to them. To revive them Crusoe ordered Friday to give them fresh water and bread. The Spaniard drank the water and took the bread and began to eat. At that time Crusoe offered him a handful of raisins which made the Spaniard so grateful and thankful that he could not express it in words. He (S) only looked up in Crusoe's face where Crusoe could read the instinctive gratitude and thankfulness of the poor victim.
Through these lines, Crusoe gives a pen picture of the character of the Spaniard who is brave, intelligent noble, and gentle.
