Select the correct answer.
Read the excerpt from "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry. What is the tone of the opening passage?
One dollar and elghty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of It was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the
grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one's cheeks burned with the silent Imputation of parsimony that such close dealing
Implied. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and elghty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas.
There was clearly nothing to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it. Which Instigates the moral reflection that life
is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.
While the mistress of the home is gradually subsiding from the first stage to the second, take a look at the home. A furnished flat at $8 per week.
It did not exactly beggar description, but it certainly had that word on the lookout for the mendicancy squad.
In the vestibule below was a letter-box into which no letter would go, and an electric button from which no mortal finger could coax a ring. Also
appertaining thereunto was a card bearing the name "Mr. James Dillingham Young."
The "Dillingham" had been flung to the breeze during a former period of prosperity when its possessor was being paid $30 per week. Now, when
the income was shrunk to $20, though, they were thinking seriously of contracting to a modest and unassuming D. But whenever Mr. James
Dillingham Young came home and reached his flat above he was called "Jim" and greatly hugged by Mrs. James Dilingham Young, already
Introduced to you as Della. Which is all very good.
