Read this excerpt from the story that the bachelor tells the children in "The Story-Teller." In it, he describes the moment Bertha encounters the wolf.
"Just then an enormous wolf came prowling into the park to see if it could catch a fat little pig for its supper."
"What colour was it?" asked the children, amid an immediate quickening of interest.
"Mud-colour all over, with a black tongue and pale grey eyes that gleamed with unspeakable ferocity. The first thing that it saw in the park was Bertha; her pinafore was so spotlessly white and clean that it could be seen from a great distance."
How does the phrase "unspeakable ferocity" affect the tone of this section of text?
