Word Entry " My Papa's Waltz"

1) My mother's countenance could not unfrown itself.

2) My Guess: Based on the context I would guess that this word means disapproval. She cannot "unfrown" so it must me a negative word and she must not like the dance.

3) Definition: "A person's face or facial expression" (Dictionary.com)

4) This makes sense because she is frowning at the dance and her countenance or facial expression remains frowning because she is not a fan of this waltz.
