keep a straight face

zachovat vážnou tvář

When I told the estate agents I wanted a flat in Soho, most of them had difficulty keeping a straight face but I wanted to live there and I persevered with it.

It is sometimes hard to keep a straight face when Terry gets into his stride on this subject.

I try and keep a straight face, but I can't help grinning at myself.
