They find the choice of words to be unexpected and surprising.

Explanation:

In the story "The Story-Teller", H.H Munro presents a picture of the reality and wants of the children. The children in the story want to listen about reality and not about the superficial world.

The story told by the aunt was boring and about the expectation that society wants from the children. The children lacked interest in such stories because of the representation of the main character. When the bachelor told the story about Bertha and described her to be 'horribly good', the children gained the interest in the story. The description brought a different view about the girl and brought surprise in her characterization.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
