Read this passage from "The Monkey's Paw": Father and son were at chess, the former, who possessed

his king into such sharp and unnecessary perils that it even
provoked comment from the white-haired old lady knitting
placidly by the fire.

mistake after it was too late, was amiably desirous of
preventing his son from seeing it.
