how do u think mr n mrs white and there son react to the object on the table?

Mrs. White drew back with a grimace, but her son, taking it, examined it curiously.

"And what is there special about it?" inquired Mr. White as he took it from his son, and having examined it, placed it upon the table.

It gives wishes so I would think they are rather in awe of it. They would obviously desire something.

Sorry about that........ the above quote (first answer box) comes directly from the text. I'm having keyboard issues; I apologize!
