Which answer below best describes the mood created for the reader in this excerpt from the end of The Secret Garden?

“[Archibald Craven] felt as if he were being drawn back to the place he had so long forsaken, and he did not know why. As he drew near to it his step became still slower. He knew where the door was, even though the ivy hung over it—but he did not know exactly where it lay—that buried key.
So he stopped and stood still…asking himself if he was walking in a dream.
…no human had passed that [garden door] for ten lonely years—and yet inside there were sounds…strange sounds of lowered, suppressed voices…What in heaven’s name did he hear? Was he losing his reason and thinking he heard things…”
a. mysterious
b. creepy
c. angry
d. sad
