Something intrigued her about the way he looked at ease lounging in his crisp white dinner jacket, yet he periodically cast nervous glances over his shoulder. The young woman had tried to sit next to him, hoping to engage him in a conversation. After all, he was closer to her in age than many of the other passengers, and he was obviously traveling alone. But no sooner had she sat down than he popped up and trotted away. And did she imagine things, or had two rather tough-looking men—definitely not first class—hurried after him? She resolved to tell him about those men when next she saw him. The next day she found him on deck, dressed elegantly in tennis whites, yet also stressed.

The correct answer to the question: What trait typical of the Romantic era is featured in Washington Irving´s short story "The Devil and Tom Walker", would be, first, the presence of the supernatural world, and the second, and most important, is the emphasis on the individual experience that the main character has throughout the story.

He lied to him because he knew that the Cyclops would call his brothers, when blinded, so he said his name was "nobody" so as to have the Cyclops yell out: "Nobody has blinded me".
