Read this short passage and answer the question that follows Elegant graceful poetic these words precisely fail to describe the way Mr Timber walked Children from the neighborhood gathered whenever he stepped out his door umbrella in hand His right leg shot forward at a surprising angle barely finding the ground again His left foot rose and hovered only to be left stranded as his eyes were caught by a passing pigeon Then the foot collided with his right knee sending the poor man tumbling and smiling sheepishly for the delighted children The tone used in this passage is O bitter O slightly humorous sad
