For a moment she didn't answer and I tried to read her face.

He kept trying to read in a book while I was after him.

She looked up at him, trying to read his face.

Maybe I should try to read a little bit more.

He looked at me, and I tried to read his mind.

She turned back to look at his face, trying to read what he meant.

I tried to read them before it was too late.

And yes, I will try to read some of his work now.

I study his eyes, trying to read between the lines.

So I take up a book and try to read.
