fate's frowns

fate's frowns
(fate's frowns (тж. frowns of fortune))
гримасы судьбы

But you have no doubt observed in life that while one can seldom misinterpret fate's frowns, her smiles can be damnably misleading. (L. Tracy, ‘Sylvia's Chauffeur’, ch. XIV) — Вы, конечно, замечали, что злую гримасу судьбы не спутаешь с доброй, а вот ее улыбки чертовски обманчивы.
