Read the excerpt from "The Monkey's Paw."

He went down in the darkness, and felt his way to the

parlour, and then to the mantelpiece. The talisman was in

its place, and a horrible fear that the unspoken wish might

bring his mutilated son before him ere he could escape

from the room seized upon him, and he caught his breath

as he found that he had lost the direction of the door. His

brow cold with sweat, he felt his way round the table, and

groped along the wall until he found himself in the small

passage with the unwholesome thing in his hand.

room. It was white and expectant, and to his fears seemed

to have an unnatural look upon it. He was afraid of her.
