Read the excerpt from "The Adventure of the Mysterious Picture." The expression was that of agony—the agony of intense bodily pain; but a menace scowled upon the brow, and a few sprinklings of blood added to its ghastliness.

What technique does Irving use to build suspense in the excerpt?
The pace of the story quickens.
The word choice darkens the tone.
Odd characters are introduced.
The setting details are intentionally omitted.
