This passage begins with Sergeant-Major Morris arriving to visit the White family. After introductions, the White family and Sergeant-Major Morris discuss his travels and one of his possessions, a monkey's paw.
"What was that you started telling me the other day about a monkey's paw or something, Morris?"
"Nothing" said the solider hastily. "Leastways nothing worth hearing."
"Monkey's paw?" said Mrs. White curiously.
Well, it's just a bit of what you might call magic, perhaps," said the sergeant-major offhandedly.
His three listeners leaned forward eagerly. The visitor absent-mindedly put his empty glass to his lips and then set it down again. His host
filled it for him.
"To look at," said the sergeant-major, fumbling in his pocket, "It's just an ordinary little paw, dried to a mummy."
He took something out of his pocket and proffered it. Mrs. White drew back with a grimace, but her son, taking it, examined it curiously.
"And what is there special about it?" Inquired Mr. White, as he took it from his son and, having examined it, placed it upon the table.
"It had a spell put on it by an old fakir," said the sergeant-major,"...He put a spell on it so that three separate men could each have three
wishes from it."...
"And did you really have the three wishes granted?" asked Mrs. White.
