In the Monkey's Paw, how does the setting change by the next morning?

The night cast off its dreariness, waking up to a bright, brisk, and sunny day.

Without, the night was cold and wet, but in the small parlour of Laburnum villa the blinds were drawn and the fire burned brightly.

In the brightness of the wintry sun next morning as it streamed over the breakfast table he laughed at his fears.
