What does ". A smile of blessedness warmed his features and was gone; " mean?
The child had vague eyes. Elizabeth, who was not good with small
children, bent across the table and tried to get her face into his line of
vision. The boy’s gaze drifted, but not towards her. It was like looking at
him through water. A smile of blessedness warmed his features and was
gone; a little knot of thought bulged between his brows and smoothed itself
again. She could not get his attention.
Does it mean: the smile of blessedness came into his face and then disappeared?

as literally as it can be declared, yes. it was there, then it was not there (it was gone). Now, what a "smile of blessedness" would mean, that is where I can't say for certain.

It means that for a second, the child was thinking about something that made him smile, but after that instant the smile was gone.
