evident excitement
I think I would word it differently though, perhaps:
...apart from Clara, who is both smiling and evidently excited.

half a smile, half a thrill on her face

Hope it helps. Good luck!

poetically precise prose with... panache

her face portraying a look/an expression of happiness and excitement
But "portraying" or "portrayed" is pretty close to the meaning in the source text, without being over-literal (if such a thing is possible!)
You could also use something like "her expression betraying a look of …", especially if it's possible that Clara might not at this point want to reveal her pleasure and excitement
| agree |
Yvonne Gallagher
: I'd use "revealing" as the verb

thanks Gallagy - that would also be good!
