"our readers will follow us along the only street of this little village, and enter with us one of the houses, which is sunburned to the beautiful dead-leaf color peculiar to the buildings of the country, and within coated with whitewash, like a spanish posada. a young and beautiful girl, with hair as black as jet, her eyes as velvety as the gazelle's, was leaning with her back against the wainscot, rubbing in her slender delicately moulded fingers a bunch of heath blossoms, the flowers of which she was picking off and strewing on the floor; her arms, bare to the elbow, brown, and modelled after those of the arlesian venus, moved with a kind of restless impatience, and she tapped the earth with her arched and supple foot, so as to display the pure and full shape of her well-turned leg, in its red cotton, gray and blue clocked, stocking. at three paces from her, seated in a chair which he balanced on two legs, leaning his elbow on an old worm-eaten table, was a tall young man of twenty, or two-and-twenty, who was looking at her with an air in which vexation and uneasiness were mingled. he questioned her with his eyes, but the firm and steady gaze of the young girl controlled his look." although the scene in paragraph 2 is narrated from the third-person omniscient point of view, the narrator uses the first-person pronouns "our" and "us" in the first sentence. how does this variation in point of view affect the text? a) it enables the narrator to show the scene from an outside perspective as well as from inside the characters' minds. b) it creates a personal bond between the reader and the narrator, making the reader more sympathetic toward the characters. c) it the reader connect with the narrator through the informal “you” and “us.” d) it makes the reader suspect that the narrator is a third character in the scene.
