Which two parts of this excerpt from w. w. jacobs's "the monkey's paw" develop a suspenseful mood? "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." he darted around the table, pursued by the maligned mrs. white armed with an antimacassar. mr. white took the paw from his pocket and eyed it dubiously. "i don't know what to wish for, and that's a fact," he said slowly. “it seems to me i've got all i want." "if you only cleared the house, you'd be quite happy, wouldn't you! " said herbert, with his hand on his shoulder. "well, wish for two hundred pounds, then; that'll just do it." his father, smiling shamefacedly at his own credulity, held up the talisman, as his son, with a solemn face, somewhat marred by a wink at his mother, sat down and struck a few impressive chords. "i wish for two hundred pounds," said the old man distinctly. a fine crash from the piano greeted his words, interrupted by a shuddering cry from the old man. his wife and son ran toward him. "it moved," he cried, with a glance of disgust at the object as it lay on the floor. "as i wished, it twisted in my hand like a snake." "well, i don't see the money," said his son, as he picked it up and placed it on the table, "and i bet i never shall." "it must have been your fancy, father," said his wife, regarding him anxiously. he shook his head. "never mind, though; there's no harm done, but it gave me a shock all the same."
