Read the first paragraph from O. Henry’s story “The Gift of the Magi.”
“One dollar and eighty-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 eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas.”
[*imputation of parsimony: accusation of stinginess]

B.

C.
It creates a conversational tone, as if someone were telling the story aloud.
D.
