Answer:
I believe the tone of this passage is that the narrator loves the old man, not for things like his gold eye, but for things like the fact that he never wronged nor hurt the narrator.
Explanation:
By definition, the tone of a piece of writing is, "The tone of the passage represents the author's sentiment or attitude towards the subject being discussed."
As you can see, the passage is all about the narrator's love for the old man. The narrator says that the old man never hurt her nor wronged her, and that is why they loved him. The narrator also mentioned the old man's gold eye, which I assume is rare/highly desired. But to sum it all up, the narrator is saying that they love the old man, not for selfish reasons like greed and money, but for the kind actions the old man takes and the fact that the old man never hurt the narrator.
