    Chopin uses words with strong connotations to create a humorous tone.

    Explanation:

    Robert, the man Edna feels attracted to, is a man who likes making jokes. The fact he is always talking about funny things makes him attractive. This characteristic opposes the style of Edna's husband, who is quite flat. The excerpt shows the flirtatious converstaion between Robert and Edna. " ... I was left here to guard your slumbers; ... ", Robert probably means that he has always liked her and that he has always enjoyed looking at her while she sleeps. " ... to keep a broiled fowl from drying up."; these words give a humorous tone to Robert's character.
