Then Editha's father said in the tone of his public-will-now-address-a-few remarks, "My name is Balcom, ma’am; Junius Balcom, of Balcom's Works, NewYork. . . ."

Answer 1

Sarcastic

Step-by-step explanation:

The author's tone in this line from William Dean Howells's "Editha" can be described as sarcastic.

This is because while he introduces himself as Balcom from Balcom's Works in New York, he means the opposite because he does not own a company.
