After a few days pass, both Mr. and Mrs. White are exhausted. One evening Mr. White wakes up and hears his wife crying next to an open window. He tries to convince her tom come back to bed, but she refuses. After dozing off again, he is awaken by a cry from his wife, calling about the monkey's paw. In hysterics, she tells him to go downstairs and use the paw to wish for their son back. Mr. White resists and says that Herbert's death could have had nothing to do with the paw, but his wife insists. He then says that when he saw Herbert, he could only identify him by his clothes. His wife however doesn't listen and begs him to get the paw. He reluctantly goes to get it, and makes his way to the stairs before wishing, afraid that his son would barge through the door immediately. He makes the wish, and waits... nothing happens, and he goes back upstairs. They hear a mouse scurry about on the stairs, and then some knocking on the door...Mrs. White bolts up and cries out that her son has come home, and she runs to the door. Mr. White tries to stop her but she gets past him. She runs to the door and tries to unlock it but cannot reach the top latch. Her husband follows her but has the paw in hand. The banging gets harder, and Mr. White raises the monkey paw to make one last wish. The banging stops, and when they open the door, the street and front garden are empty..SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...Victorian Literature, Gothic Audiobook, Classic Literature
