"When I got outside, it was obvious the excitement from when we'd first arrived had evaporated completely. We walked in silence...through little backstreets...It was a relief to come out onto the High street where the noise made our rotten mood less obvious." pg. 156
The tone shifts a lot in this novel, particularly in this scene that the above quote was taken from. To start out, the tone is lighthearted as the group takes a trip to Norfolk. However, the tone becomes tense as the characters' moods sour. In this section, there is a lot of tension between Kathy and Ruth. The tone directs the story towards the tension and frustration growing between the two friends. It even foreshadows future tension between the friends and in their relationship.
