In the excerpt from William Dean Howells's Editha, the following sentences use an ironic tone: "Will you take up the whole burden of it if anything happens to him?" "It was as if she could not say enough, and she wanted him to say more." These sentences reflect a contrast between what is being said and what is actually meant, creating irony in the text.
