Morris visits the Whites and regales them with exotic tales from his adventures abroad, particularly in India. He mentions the monkey's paw to them but is reluctant to let them have it; his demeanor and words suggest he is frightened of the talisman's power. Although Morris seems reluctant to give them the paw, he is aware of how tempting it is and we can assume he is wanting to be rid of its evil. Morris is really just a way to involve the Whites with the paw.
