Explain the mood of the text? How does the narrator’s description of L’Abri, from Madame Valmonde’s point of view, develop the mood of the text?

The tone is at times ominous, hinting at trouble that lies ahead, particularly as a result of the decisions that Armand Aubigny makes (which are quite rash and hasty in nature). Otherwise, the gaiety with which Desiree expresses her love for Armand and excitement for her newborn serve as lighter moments in the story.
