hiding
moist
He waited at the corner a few minutes, hiding behind a
hedge for what seemed like forever. Just as he was
starting to think about going home, he heard footsteps
and knew it was too late. His hands, moist from worry,
hung at his sides and a thread of sweat raced down his
armpit.
He peeked through the hedge. She was wearing a sweater
with a checkerboard pattern. A red purse was slung over
her shoulder. He could see her looking for him, standing
on tiptoe to see if he was coming around the corner.

What is the effect of narrator's word choice on the tone of this passage? the words "my heart shrank within itself" create a fearful tone. the words "wounded his fellow" develop a remorseful tone. the words "struck harsh upon my ears" suggest an irritated tone. the words "better-omened" set a hopeful tone. excerpt from "the cabuliwallah" by rabindranath tagore i was sitting in my study, looking through the accounts, when some one entered, saluting respectfully, and stood before me. it was rahmun the cabuliwallah. at first i did not recognise him. he had no bag, nor the long hair, nor the same vigour that he used to have. but he smiled, and i knew him again. "when did you come, rahmun? " i asked him. "last evening," he said, "i was released from jail." the words struck harsh upon my ears. i had never before talked with one who had wounded his fellow, and my heart shrank within itself when i realised this; for i felt that the day would have been better-omened had he not turned up.
