(from plato: )
which four parts of this excerpt from w. w. jacobs's "the monkey's paw" show that the white family doubts the major's story?

- "hold it up in your right hand, and wish aloud," said the sergeant-major, "but i warn you of the consequences."
- "sounds like the 'arabian nights,'” said mrs. white, as she rose and began to set the supper. "don't you think you might wish for four pairs of hands for me."
- "if you must wish," he said gruffly, "wish for something sensible."
- "if the tale about the monkey's paw is not more truthful than those he has been telling us," said herbert, as the door closed behind their guest, just in time to catch the last train, "we shan't make much out of it."
- "likely," said herbert, with pretended horror. "why, we're going to be rich, and famous and happy. wish to be an emperor, father, to begin with; then you can't be henpecked."
- mr. white took the paw from his pocket and eyed it dubiously.
