Alla:

But whether narrator is describing Narcissa as walking around looking 
as if there's a bad smell under her nose or whether narrator is 
actually thinking that there is a bad smell under her nose, those are 
narrator's descriptions, no?

If we were to ask Narcissa to describe the look on her face, she for 
example could have said that she, I don't know was very annoyed with 
her hairdresser or give any other reason that has nothing to do with 
comparison of bad smell under her nose, whether it actually exists or 
not.

I am saying that the comparison itself could be wrong and has nothing 
to do with Narcissa, like if I am happy because I got a promotion, 
somebody would describe me looking as if I ate some yummy chocolate 
or something.
