What is family life like in the White's household when The Monkey's Paw opens. Support your description with two details from the story.

The White's home is like many other homes.... they want for nothing, have a close relationship, enjoy spending time together, and banter about the simple things.... like cheating at games. They also complain about where they live.... off the beaten path. People never seem to be satisfied.

Father and son were playing chess; the father, whose ideas about the game involved some very unusual moves, putting his king into such sharp and unnecessary danger that it even brought comment from the white-haired old lady knitting quietly by the fire.

“That’s the worst of living so far out,” cried Mr. White with sudden and unexpected violence; “Of all the awful out of the way places to live in, this is the worst. Can’t walk on the footpath without getting stuck in the mud, and the road’s a river. I don’t know what the people are thinking about. I suppose they think it doesn’t matter because only two houses in the road have people in them.”
