Asked on December 21, 2021 in Meaning.
Can anyone make sense of seriously as an intensifier? On the outside, I would not expect to find this use in writing, except in dialogue, or in a very pacy excited style of writing.
In any case, that meaning, while not impossible, is strange here – to say she is extremely good at hiding her emotions but that he read them is not very consequent.Edit : strike the second paragraph.

But 2 is certainly more symmetrical, and it’s what I would write.
