There was a happy mood turned serious and nervis
"The people had done it so many times that they only half listened to the directions: most of them were  quiet, wetting their lips, not looking around. Then Mr. Summers raised one hand high and said, "Adams."... " man disengaged himself from the crowd and came forward. "Hi. Steve," Mr. Summers said, and Mr.  Adams said, "Hi. Joe." They grinned at one another humorlessly and nervously. Then Mr. Adams reached  into the black box and took out a folded paper. He held it firmly by one corner as he turned and went  hastily back to his place in the crowd, where he stood a little apart from his family, not looking down at  his hand.

Steve Adams was in the front of the crowd of  villagers, with Mrs. Graves beside him.  'It isn't fair, it isn't right,' Mrs. Hutchinson screamed, and then they were upon her." (Jackson 8)
