playful and comical

Explanation:

From the excerpt, the mood is  playful and comical.

This is true because the author revealed that they "pattered pitty-pat, pitty-pat each with feet  and toenails, ears and hair, everything but tails,..." This shows that they were in a playful mood. Also, despite the way they pattered, when they got to the Philadelphia union depot, they had nothing to say. This also added a comical effect in the excerpt.

the author develops a cold, and scared tone. making the reader shudder with fear, and suddenly become cold. i'm guessing that he's writing a scary novel, or maybe about a chilly december night.
