- The knocking at the door becomes louder. Mrs. White runs to the door, to let Herbert in, but Mr. White holds her back because he knows the wickedness of the paw. She breaks free and runs to the door, but she can't reach the bolt. Mr. White searches fastly for the paw.
- Just as his wife gets a char, climbs up, and slides back the bolt, Mr. White finds the paw and makes his final wish. The knocking suddenly stops. Mrs. White opens the door, bu there is no one outside.
