[00:04.05]Chapter 7
[00:07.25]But they did not sleep．
[00:09.28]They waited and they listened．
[00:12.68]In the end Mr White got up to get a candle
[00:15.33]because the dark made him more afraid．
[00:18.98]He began to go downstairs,
[00:21.93]but suddenly he heard a noise at the front door．
[00:25.99]He stopped,and he listened. He could not move．
[00:30.63]Then the noise came again．
[00:33.53]This time he ran．
[00:35.30]He ran upstairs,back into the bedroom
[00:38.04]and he closed the door behind him．
[00:41.05]But again the noise came．
[00:44.50]'What's that?' Mrs White cried, and she sat up in bed．
[00:49.38]'Nothing! GO to sleep again!'
[00:52.98]her husband answered．
[00:55.52]But Mrs White listened-and the noise came again．
[01:00.05]'It's Herbert! It's Herbert! she cried．
[01:04.12]'I'm going to open the door for him．'
[01:07.17]And she got out of bed and ran to the door of the bedroom．
[01:11.38]Mr White got there first and stopped her．
[01:14.54]'No!' he cried．'Think!'
[01:17.93]'But it's my boy! It's Herbert,' she answered．
[01:22.15]'No!Don't go!Don't…'her husband cried again．
[01:28.34]But Mrs White did not listen to him．
[01:30.91]She opened the bed room door and ran from the room．
[01:34.56]'I'm coming, Herbert． I'm coming!' she called．
[01:39.39]Mr White ran after her．'Stop!'he cried．
[01:43.40]'Remember, Herbert died in the machinery!
[01:47.78]You don't want to see him!'
[01:50.63]For a minute Mrs White stopped and looked at her husband,
[01:55.31]but then the noise came again and she began to run downstairs．
[02:00.29]'Help me! Help me!' she called to her husband．
[02:06.11]But Mr White did not move．
[02:08.97]'The paw!' he thought．'Where's the monkey's paw?'
[02:14.55]He ran back into the bedroom．
[02:16.91]'Quick!'he thought． 'Where is it?
[02:20.50]'At first he could not find it in the dark．
[02:23.46]Ah! There it was! He had it!
[02:26.66]Just at that minute he heard his wife downstairs．
[02:30.99]'Wait! Wait, Herbert! I'm coming!'
[02:34.85]she cried． She began to open the front door．
[02:39.11]At the same time Mr White took the monkey's paw in his right hand
[02:45.37]and he made his third wish．
[02:48.57]Mrs White gave a long unhappy cry
[02:51.68]and her husband ran down to her．
[02:55.18]She stood by the open door．
[02:57.68]Very afraid,Old Mr White looked out into the dark．
[03:04.84]The road was dark and quiet-and there was nobody there．
