Tell me the tone of the following passage from 'The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe "It was A LOW, DULL, QUICK SOUND - SUCH A SOUND THAT A WATCH MAKES WHEN ENVELOPED IN COTTON. I gasped for breath, and yet the
officers heard not. I talked more quickly, more vehemently but the noise steadily increased. I arose and argued about trifles, in a high key and with violent
gesticulations; but the noise steadily increased. Why WOULD they not leave! I paced the floor to and fro with heavy strides, as if excited to fury by the
observations of the men, but the noise steadily increased. O God! What COULD I do?"
Nervousness
Hopeful
Curious
Cheerful
