Herbert's attitude towards his father's wish on the Monkey's paw is skeptical (he doesn't believe in it). The detail that DOES NOT supports this is:
A. “If you only cleared the house, you’d be quite happy, wouldn’t you!” said Herbert, with his hand on his shoulder.
B. “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.”
C. “Likely,” said Herbert, with pretended horror. “Why, we’re going to be rich, and famous, and happy.
D. “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.”
What is A? A only offers the suggestion Herbert made to his father, but B,C, and D show that Herbert does not believe in the power of the paw.
